October 2007
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND
Indian Railways, the prime movers of the nation, have the distinction of being one of the
largest railway systems in the world under a single management. Its contribution to the
nations progress is immeasurable and it has a dual role to play as a commercial organization
as well as a vehicle for fulfillment of aspirations of the society at large. It is an important
catalyst to growth of trade, industry and the economy as a whole, with immense potential for
providing indirect employment. Considering this, Indian Government attaches the highest
priority to the development and expansion of railway infrastructure. The Golden Quadrilateral
and diagonals of the railway system are heavily congested routes and strengthening/widening
of these routes has been taken up as part of National Rail Vikas Yojana. Surveys and
construction of gauge conversion and new lines have been undertaken with a view to provide
alternate routes to decongest the heavily utilized ones. Delhi-Mumbai and Delhi-Howrah
stretches of Quadrilateral railway system have been identified as heavily congested routes and
need to be decongested on priority basis.
In view of this, on the request of Ministry of Railways (MOR), Japan International
Cooperation Agency (JICA) has conducted the feasibility study for the The Development of
Dedicated Multimodal High Axle Load Freight Corridor with computerized Control for DelhiMumbai and Delhi-Howrah in India (JICA F/S). Objective of JICA F/S was to review the
PETS and Final Location Survey (FLS) of the Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) Project that
was supposed to be prepared by the GOI. However, since the FLS could not be available
during JICA F/S, Guideline Design (GLD) and General Arrangement Drawings (GAD) have
been proposed for the preparation of FLS for both Eastern and Western Corridors during JICA
F/S.
The Environmental and Social Considerations Study (ESCS), which was equivalent to Initial
Environmental Examination (IEE) level study, was conducted from November 2006 to March
2007 in the First Year of JICA F/S. In the Second Year of JICA F/S, Environmental and Social
Impact Mitigation Measures Study (ESIMMS), which is equivalent to Environmental Impact
Assessment (EIA) level study, has been conducted base on GLD and GAD covering the
development stage sections between Rewari, Haryana and Vasai Road, Maharashtra (approx.
1,262 km) for the Western Corridor and between Dadri and Mughal Sarai, Uttar Pradesh
(approx. 756 km) for the Eastern Corridor. The overall study area of ESIMMS is shown in
Figure 1-1.
For the Western Corridor, ESIMMS has been conducted for the DFC route from Rewari to
JNPT Mumbai which includes 2 districts of Haryana, 7 districts of Rajasthan, 12 districts of
Gujarat and 1 district of Maharashtra. However, this ESIMMS report elaborates environmental
and social impact mitigation measures for the DFC route in Rajasthan state up to Abu Road.
The districts covered in this ESIMMS are Alwar, Sikar, Jaipur, Nagaur, Ajmer, Pali and Sirohi.

OBJECTIVE OF ESIMMS
The specific objective of ESIMMS is to ensure that potential problems are foreseen and
addressed at an early stage in the projects planning and design. Design, execution and
operation of the project can be planned in the light of the findings of this ESIMSS, so that the
expected benefits from the DFC project can be sustained with minimum and acceptable
adverse environmental impacts. The main objectives of ESIMMS are given below:
-
Identification of the project activities likely to cause potential significant impacts on the
environment.
Identification of the extent of environmental impacts caused by DFC Project activities to

the environment.
Prediction and analysis of intensity and nature of impacts whether they are permanent or
temporary, cumulative, and/or irreversible.
Consultation with the general public as well as those concerned with the DFC Project,
which are ranging from the central and local government organizations to commercial
and industrial sectors of the society as a whole by holding a series of stakeholder/public
consultation meetings (PCMs). The broad objective of PCMs and its proper
documentation is to verify opinions of the general public and other stakeholders that
could be affected by the DFC Project.

SCOPE OF ESIMMS
In ESCS which was mainly conducted based on the collected secondary data as IEE level
study, the major environmental and social consideration items were identified. Based on the
results of ESCS, further EIA level study has been required for the following components.
(1)
Natural Environment
The secondary data collection and survey of natural reserves, such as national parks and
wildlife sanctuaries along the DFC alignment shall be conducted. Reserved forests and
protected forests along the DFC alignment shall be examined to assess their impacts.
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
Pollution Control
1)
Sensitive Receptors (SRs) along the DFC alignment shall be identified for noise and
vibration measurement. Ambient and railway noise/vibration levels shall be measured at
the selected SRs. In addition, railway noise and vibration measurements were conducted
along the DFC alignment to obtain unit sample data at 16 sites in total.
2)
The secondary data collection of water quality, air quality and other components shall be
conducted. The mitigation measures shall be proposed based on the analysis of the
collected data.
Social Environment
1)
Field survey to identify the number of Project Affected Families (PAFs) 1 shall be
identified.
2)
Socio-economic questionnaire survey shall be conducted at 10% of total number of the

identified PAFs.
3)
The social impact assessment along the DFC alignment shall be conducted. The
Resettlement and Rehabilitation Plan Framework shall be formulated.
Stakeholder/Public Consultation Meetings

1)
The 2nd Stage PCM was planned to be conducted at each district to be directly affected
by the DFC Project.
2)
Targeted PCM participants shall be representatives of Panchayats, villages and towns.
3)
After the 2nd Stage PCM participated representatives of Panchayats, villages and towns
shall disseminate the information obtained from the PCM amongst villagers and town
residents, discuss with the issues and exchange opinions with residents at a village
feedback meeting. The results of the village meeting shall be recorded.
4)
In the 3rd Stage PCM, either one representative of each Panchayats, villages or towns or
one representative of potential Project Affected Persons (PAPs) shall present their
outcomes of the village meeting. The outcomes shall be discussed, and components of
the suggested RRP Framework shall be agreed by the participants of the 3rd Stage PCM.
Formulation of the Resettlement and Plan Framework

1)
In the village feedback meetings to be organised before the 3rd Stage PCM, the RRP
Framework shall be introduced to village residents. The components shall be confirmed
and discussed by village residents.
PAF is defined as Project Affected Families to be relocated; however, at the stage of ESIMMS, the number of affected
residential structures is considered as PAF. The exact number of the PAF shall be identified by the detailed field survey at
the next stage of the project.

(EMOP)
EMAP and EMOP for construction of relevant railway facilities of each district shall be
prepared.
Scope of ESIMMS as EIA level study has been elaborated in a well defined manner in Terms
of Reference (TOR) as Technical Working Paper as part of JICA F/S. As per the TOR, major
issues to be covered are summarized under four major heads as the details of major four
components are discussed below:
1)
Natural Environment Impact Assessment Study

Pollution Control Study
Social Impact Assessment Study
Stakeholder/Public Consultation Meeting
Natural Environment Impact Assessment Study
The significant environmental issues, particularly ecologically sensitive areas on natural

environmental components such as topography, geology, soil, climate, land use, water bodies,
and ecology etc. likely to be impacted due to proposed activities of DFC, were identified and a
suitable and effective environmental management and monitoring plan to mitigate negative
impacts and enhance positive impacts was prepared. Monitoring Plan was elaborated for
construction period as well as spanning over 3-5 years covering locations sensitive to other
pollution aspects as well as areas covering protected areas, wildlife sanctuary, eco-sensitive
along DFC alignment. Effective and feasible measures were identified and elaborated
necessary to take in order to mitigate, reduce, rectify or compensate adverse impacts caused
by the project to the areas subject to protection of forest, wildlife, or any other species of fauna
and flora and eco-sensitive areas. Baseline status of natural environmental components was
prepared based on reconnaissance environmental survey and secondary data available.
Detailed field survey was carried out to substantiate the findings focusing on forestry and
railway side plantation using quadrate survey representing each forest by three minimum plots
with size 10 m x 10 m. This was further supported by interview survey with relevant expert
and local residents covering confirmation of the present situation in flora and fauna including
avifauna.
2)
Pollution Control Survey
The current status of water quality in rivers, air quality, noise, vibration along the proposed
alignment was grasped based on mainly secondary data supported with reconnaissance field
survey. Primary survey was carried out for ambient and railway noise and vibration including
its attenuation at the selected sensitive receptors near proposed DFC alignment. Interview
survey on noise and vibration with local residents living along the existing railway side at
each monitoring location using suitable questionnaire was conducted so as to record the
surrounding land use and other activities as well as to get the feedback from the local people.
Noise and vibration levels were predicted and evaluated.

ESIMMS Report
C)
October 2007
3) Social Impact Assessment Study
Baseline regional socio-economic status such as demographic features, social stratification,

occupational pattern, land holdings, cultural aspects was prepared using secondary data. No of
Project Affected Families (PAFs) and its respective locations were identified in each district
where resettlement of local people is necessary. Socio-economic primary survey on 10 % of
the population directly affected by the project in the respective district was conducted using a
suitable questionnaire where construction of detours, junction/crossing stations, bridges, and
other railway facilities so as to reflect baseline socio-economic status of PAFs. Based on the
findings of socio-economic survey and extensive stakeholder/public consultation meetings, a
Resettlement and Rehabilitation Plan (RRP) was elaborated for titled PAFs, non-titled PAFs,
scheduled caste and tribes based on the provision of draft National Rehabilitation Policy, 2006.
Social environment monitoring plan spanning 3-5 years was elaborated for PAFs after
resettlement and R & R activities in a village or in a hamlet formed by bi-secting or
fragmented by construction of DFC facilities.
4)
Stakeholder/Public Consultation Meetings
Integrating valuable feedback from stakeholders from the conceptualizing and planning stage
of the project has been recognized as important activities as part of EIA level study. In line
with this, three rounds of PCMs have been planned in JICA F/S. The first round PCMs were
hold in February 2007 during the First Year of JICA F/S, while the second and third rounds of
PCMs have been conducted as part of ESIMMS. These two rounds of PCMs have been
conducted in each project district. The key objective of second round consultation is to verify
opinions of the general public that would be affected by the proposed alignment of DFC
Project and elaborate with the PAFs a general framework of RRP. The key objective of third
round consultation was to reach general agreement in principle with the identified PAFs in
terms of the contents of RRP. During PCMs, a questionnaire is used to collect important
feedback from all participants. Information on the DFC project as well as the record of the
first round PCMs was disseminated through feedback meeting with head of each directly
affected panchayat organization. All meeting proceedings were properly documented.

APPLIED GUIDELINES, POLICIES AND ACTS
APPLICABLE NATIONAL POLICIES AND REGULATIONS

The primary responsibility of administration and implementation of the Government of Indias
policy with respect to environmental management, conservation, ecologically sustainable
development, and pollution control rests with the Ministry of Environment and Forests
(MoEF). The MoEF has agencies and institutions to implement the environmental polices such
as:
1)
Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB): It is a statutory authority attached to Ministry of

Environment and Forests (MoEF)
2)
MoEF Regional Offices: The country is divided into several regions, with each region
having a Regional Office.
3)
State Pollution Control Board (SPCB): These play the role in environmental management at
the state level, with emphasis on air and water qualities.
4)
State Department of Environment and Forests: These perform function similar to MoEF only
at the state level.
There are 10 national policies to address various issues relating to the exploitation of natural
resources and other environmental issues. The applicability rating is direct and indirect as
provided in Table 2-1.

Environment Protection Act, 1986

The Environment Protection Act 1986 is an umbrella act providing for the protection and
improvement of environment and for matters connected therewith. This act authorizes the
central government to intervene directly in order to protect the environment and also allows
public interest litigation for the same purpose.

EIA Notification in India

This is the Indian governments guideline for environmental impact assessment governing all
of the development interventions that takes place within the boundaries of India. EIA
notification was issued by Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) in 1984 and later
amended in 2002. Purpose of this was to impose restrictions and prohibitions on the expansion
and modernization of any activity or new projects as specified in Schedule 1 in any part of
India unless environmental clearance has been accorded by the Central Government or State
Government in accordance with the procedure specified in the notification. This notification
on environmental clearance has been recently revised in order to make it more transparent and
effective and notified on September 14, 2006.
According to new latest gazette notification, there are two categories of projects via, category
A and Category B. Category A will be cleared by the Ministry of Environment and forests at
central level (Expert Appraisal Committee or EAC constituted by MOEF)) and the category B
project will be cleared by the State Environmental Impact Assessment authority (SEIAA)
constituted by MoEF at State level. If there is no State level authority constituted, all
categories of projects, as spelt out in Schedule 1 would be dealt at central level.
The objective of the notification is:
To formulate a transparent, decentralized and efficient regulatory mechanism to:
-
Incorporate necessary environmental safeguards at planning stage;

Involve stakeholders in the public consultation process; and
Identify developmental projects based on impact potential instead of the
investment criteria.
Differences between EIA Notifications, 1994 & 2006

1)
Public consultation structured; to be conducted by SPCB and presided by DM (with in

45 days); proceedings to be video graphed; MoEF to intervene if PH not held in time;
2)
Time limits with consequences at each stage; and
3)
State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA) at the state level and Expert
Appraisal Committee (EAC) at central level.
According to latest EIA notification, Railway and bridge construction projects do not appear
in the list of Schedule 1 and as such, are exempted from the environmental clearance.
Draft Environmental State Policy: Draft environment policy of the State discourages land use
changes i.e., from green fields to brown fields. It envisages promotion of bio-agriculture; crop
rotation; bio-fertilizer and bio-pesticides use, and promote integrated micro watershed
management.
2.1.3
Forest Conservation Act, 1980

This Act provides for the conservation of forests and regulating diversion of forestlands for
non-forestry purposes. When any projects falls within forestlands, prior clearance is required
from relevant authorities under the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980. State governments cannot
de-reserve any forestland or authorize its use for any non-forest purposes without approval
from the Central government.

Applicability of Forest Conservation Act to Railway side strip plantations

In 1986, when MoEF enacted the Environmental Protection Act, the entire linear stretches of
roadside, railway line and canal plantations were declared as protected forests. The February
18, 1998 MoEF circular on linear plantations on roadsides, canal and railway lines modified
the applicability of provisions of Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980 to linear plantations. The
new modification recognizes that the spirit behind the Forest (Conservation) Act was
conservation of natural forests and not strips plantations. In the case of the notified to be
protected railway side plantations, the clearance may be given by the concerned regional
office of the MoEF, irrespective of the area of plantation lost. While issuing the approval, in
place of normal provision for compensatory afforestation, the regional offices will stipulate a
condition that for every tree removed at least two trees should be planted. If the concerned
Regional office does not issue the decision within thirty days of the receipt of fully completed
application, the project proponent may proceed with widening/expansion under intimation to
the State Forest Department and the MoEF.

Definition
General term used to indicate all categories of Forest reserves
In the case of Protected Forests it has been divided into two types, viz, DPF and
UPF. In the case of Protected Forests all activities listed are allowed except what is
not listed.
Demarcation of all legal verification has been complete. Legally protected
Demarcation of all legal verification not complete. Legally protected
The reserved forests are those forests where all settlement of rights has been
completed. The Reserve Forests are always notified and everything is prohibited in
these forests except what is listed in the notification. Most protected forest category.
These are declared sensitive natural habitats in the country. Legally most protected
category of wildlife areas.
These are preserved and conserved as the most important ecosystems of the country.
Legally highest protected category of Forest Ecosystems
These Forest Areas (Govt. land) not classified into any category. Generally without
any trees. Not protected at all it could be with shrubs or barren rocky areas.
These are forest areas raised, conserved and protected by Military and municipal
authorities. No major ecological significance but protected.
Eco-systems that are active ecosystems with the entire food chain are dynamic and
active. Eco-sensitive due to the possible and probable negative impacts during
construction and operational stages arising out of the infrastructure project that will
be implemented in the vicinity.
Procedure for Forest Clearance

The steps for forest clearance are briefly described below:
-
Submit the proposal in the prescribed format to the State Forest Department. (Application
Form is attached as Annex-2.1)
While issuing the approval for compensatory afforestation, the Regional Offices will
stipulate a condition that for every tree cut at least two trees should be planted.
Forest Clearance is given in four stages as follows:

i)
Divisional Forest Officer (DFO)
ii) Conservator of Forest (CF)

iii) Principal Conservator of Forest (PCCF)
iv) Secretary Forest
Tree cutting can be conducted only after obtaining Forest Clearance.
Procedure for felling trees alongside railway line is as follows:
i.
Demarcation of trees
ii. Implementation of a joint inspection by Forest & Railway Departments

iii. Permission by State Forest Department
Planted area along railway lines are not yet notified as protected forests in some areas, such as
Ajmer, Pali and Sirohi Districts and will not attract the provisions of Forest (Conservation)
Act, 1980 for the purposes of widening or expansion or re-alignment. However, the
permission may be taken from Railway Dept.
Land along railway lines which were subsequently planted and notified as protected forests for
management purposes will need approval from the Central Government under Forest
(Conservation) Act, 1980.

Biological Diversity Act, 2002

To provide for conservation of Biological Diversity, sustainable use of its components and fair
and equitable sharing of benefits arising out of the use of biological resources and knowledge,
a convention, the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity was held at Rio de
Janeiro in 1992, wherein the sovereign rights of the States over their biological resources were
reaffirmed. India being signatory to the said Convention found it necessary to give effect to
the said convention as India is rich in Biological Diversity and associated traditional and
contemporary knowledge system. Accordingly the Biological Diversity Bill was introduced in
the Parliament in 2000, was passed by both the houses in 2002 and came on paper on 5th
February 2003.

Wildlife Protection Act, 1972

The first comprehensive legislation relating to protection of wild life was passed by the
Parliament and it was assented by the President on 9th September 1972 and came to be known
as The Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972 (53 of 1972). This law has given special importance
for the protection of specified plants, control/ prohibition of trade or commerce in wild
animals, animal article and trophies and hunting of animals, declaration of sanctuaries,
national parks and closed areas etc (Table 2-6).

Land Acquisition Act

The Land Acquisition Act (LAA), 1894 is the expropriation law of eminent domain. Different
levels of government have increasingly been using the Act to acquire land for a spectrum of
public purposes. In 1984, the Act was amended to extend the scope of the definition of Public
Purposes, and to rationalize the acquisition process. However, legal procedures remain the
same as the original act and do not include any special process in the case of resettlement.
However, development of a project specific Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) is mandatory as
per provisions in the EIA notification, 1994. Important aspects such as protection against loss
of livelihood, community support systems and infrastructures, loss of productive systems,
minimization of displacement, etc. are covered.
The framework and principles used when public property is acquired is found in the
Acquisition Act 1894. It is totally inadequate and inappropriate for the problem of community
displacement, compensation and resettlement. The market value assessed by the existing
procedure tends to be lower than the actual prevailing market value of assets. No statutory
assistance is provided to Project Affected Persons (PAPs) for moving property or losing
income during relocation. Encroachments, squatters and non-title holders are not recognized
and are generally not considered for compensation under the LA Act. The EIA notification
mentions the need of rehabilitation support for encroachers but do not require anyone to act.
(1)
Resettlement & Rehabilitation Policy

There is no comprehensive legislation, as yet, at the National or State level that governs the
resettlement and rehabilitation of PAPs. Ministry of Rural Development (Department of Land
Resources) approved a National Policy on Resettlement and Rehabilitation (NPRR) for
Project Affected Families (PAFs), 2003, published in the Gazette of India on 17th February
2004. It recognizes the following essential features:
-
That project-affected families (PAFs) not only lose their lands, other assets and livelihoods,
Page 2-7
ESIMMS Report
October 2007
they also experience adverse psychological and social/cultural consequences;

-
The need to minimize large-scale displacement and where displacement is inevitable,

resettlement and rehabilitation has to be handled with utmost care. This is especially
necessary for tribal, small and marginal farmers and women;
That cash compensation alone is often inadequate to replace lost agricultural land,
homesteads and other resources. Landless labourers, forest dwellers, tenants, artisans are not
eligible for cash compensation;
The need to provide relief especially to the rural poor (with no assets), small and marginal
farmers, Scheduled Castes (SCs)/ Scheduled Tribes (STs) and women;
The importance of dialogue between PAFs and the administration responsible for
resettlement for smoother implementation of projects and Resettlement and Rehabilitation
Plan (RRP).
The policy is in the form of broad guidelines and executive instructions and will be
applicable to projects displacing 500 families or more in plain areas and 250 families or
more in hilly areas.
The NPRR does not meet some of the International Funding Agencies (World Bank, ADB,
etc.) resettlement policy's key requirements. Firstly, the NPRR states that in acquisitions for
highways, railway lines, transmission lines and pipelines, project affected families will be
offered an ex-gratia payment of Rs.10,000 and no other resettlement and rehabilitation
benefits. Secondly, the cut-off numbers of affected persons for whom World Bank requires
resettlement plans are much lower. Thirdly, replacement value is not clearly defined and more
importantly is not taken into account in the various lump-sum compensation payments that
have been decreed in the policy. Fourthly, no specific entitlements have been provided for
untitled persons such as squatters and encroachers. However, the policy does recognize some
significant principles. It requires projects to (a) minimize displacement and to identify nondisplacing or least-displacing alternatives; (b) plan the resettlement and rehabilitation of PAPs
including special needs of tribal and vulnerable sections; (c) provide a better standard of living
to PAFs; and (d) facilitate harmonious relationships between the requiring body and PAFs
through mutual cooperation. A National Monitoring Committee will be set up comprising the
Secretary Land Resources (Chair), Secretary Planning Commission, Secretary Social Justice
and, Secretary Water Resources, Secretary Tribal Affairs, Secretary Railways, Secretary Power
and Secretary Coal. In addition, a National Monitoring Cell will be established in the
Department of Land Resources in the Ministry of Rural Development under a Joint Secretary,
assisted by zonal directors, subject matter specialists, deputy directors and other support staff.
In view of many deficiencies identified in NPRR, this existing policy has been reviewed and a
draft Rehabilitation Policy at the National Level, that has been formulated and awaits approval
by the central government. It is expected that it will be cleared by parliament session this year
and that it would become as National Rehabilitation Act of 2006 which makes new
compensation scheme for resettlement and rehabilitation of PAPs mandatory. In brief, the
proposed policy acknowledges the inadequate measures taken in the past and inaccessibility to
studies, reports and data about the projects, for PAPs and NGOs. It suggests full access and
information disclosure to PAPs and NGOs to ensure effective participation and representation.
The draft policy further emphasizes the need for a separate institutional framework and
organizational structure, as well as a sustained system for monitoring and evaluating
resettlement and rehabilitation projects.

Noise Pollution Regulation and Control Rules

As a result of considering the deleterious and psychological effects of the noise pollution on
the human well being. Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) has drawn up the above
rules, which have come to force with effect from 14th February 14, 2000.
2.1.8
EIA shall identify all industrial, commercial, residential and silent zones within the
project study area
EIA shall assess if the levels of noise generated by the project in any area exceeded the
ambient air quality standards in respect of noise in the schedule of rules
EIA shall describe noise pollution measures to achieve compliance with the ambient air
quality standards in respect of noise.
Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981

This Act provides for the prevention, control and abatement of air pollution. It is triggered by
air polluting activity in an air pollution control area or when emissions of any air pollutants
into the atmosphere exceed the standards set by the Central and State Boards.
-
EIA shall identify air pollution control areas.
Document shall identify all air polluting activities and sources associated with the project.
EIA confirms that consent will be obtained for air pollution control areas.
Environmental report describes mechanisms requested for the operation of industrial

equipment and to notify the State Board of an unforeseen release of air pollutants exceeding
the standards. Remedial measures proposed to mitigate air pollution in air pollution control
areas are to be described.
2.1.9
Water (Prevention and Control Pollution) Act

The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 resulted in the establishment of the
Central and State-level Pollution Control Boards whose responsibilities include managing
water quality and effluent standards, as well as monitoring water quality, prosecuting
offenders and issuing licenses for construction and operation of certain facilities.

Cultural Environment Related Act, 1958

As a result of growing interest in cultural heritage in the nation, both government agencies and
NGOs concerned with the preservation and conservation of this heritage have been established.
The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) is the organization working on the protection and
conservation of monuments and archaeological sites. It is supported in its endeavors by the
state Directorate of Archaeology. The ASI administers the Ancient Monuments and
Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1958. According to this act, areas within radii of 100
m and 300 m from the protected property are designated as protected and controlled
respectively. No development activity is permitted in the protected area, without prior
permission of the GOI. Similarly, certain development (likely to damage the protected
property) activities require prior permission from GOI. Conservation for the designated
protected monuments/sites/remains is addressed by the existing legislation. However, there are
several railway side cultural properties that are not protected, but are of significant cultural
or religious value to the community. No procedure exists at present for conservation of these
smaller cultural properties.
(2)
Motor Vehicle Act, 1988

In 1988, the Indian Motor Vehicle Act empowered the State Transport Authority to enforce
standards for vehicular pollution and prevention control. The authority also checks emission
standards of registered vehicles, collects road taxes, and issues licenses. In August 1997, the
Pollution Under Control Certificate (PUC) programme was launched in an attempt to
crackdown on the amount of vehicular emissions in the state. To date it has not been highly
effective.

JICA Guidelines on Environmental and Social Considerations

JICA supports the recipient governments by offering cooperation projects into which JICA
incorporates appropriate environmental and social considerations so as to avoid or minimize
development projects adverse impacts on the environment and local communities. JICA thus
promotes sustainable development in developing countries.
The impacts to be assessed with regard to environmental and social considerations include
impacts on human health and safety as well as the natural environment. Impacts on the natural
environment include trans-boundary or global-scale impacts through air, water, soil, waste,
accidents, water usage, climate change, ecosystems and biodiversity. The impacts to be
assessed also include social impacts, which include the migration of populations and
involuntary resettlement; local economy such as employment and livelihood; utilization of
land and local resources; social institutions such as social infrastructure and local decisionmaking institutions; existing social infrastructures and services; vulnerable social groups such
as the poverty level and indigenous peoples; equality of benefits and losses and equality in
development process; gender; childrens rights; cultural heritage; local conflict of interests and
infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS.
In addition to the direct and immediate impacts of projects, derivative, secondary and
cumulative impacts are also to be assessed in regard to environmental and social
considerations within the extent possible. The life cycle impact during a project period is
considered as well.
2.2.2
JBIC Guidelines on Environmental and Social Considerations

JBIC established "Japan Bank for International Cooperation Guidelines for Confirmation of
Environmental and Social Considerations" on April 1, 2002, as unified guidelines of two
environmental guidelines applied to International Financial Operations and Overseas
Economic Cooperation Operations respectively. The Guidelines has been implemented from
October 1, 2003.
The guidelines placed a premium on participation by such stakeholders as local community
inhabitants who will be affected by the project. They require the project executor to solicit
stakeholders' participation from the project planning stage. The checklist to be confirmed by
JBIC now includes social considerations pertaining to resettlement, indigenous people and
women. Also more strengthened than in the previous guidelines is a provision on information
disclosure. JBIC is required to make public such items as the category classification of the
project prior to loan approval.
The guidelines were established on 1st April, 2002, and have been fully implemented since
October 1, 2003. The guidelines will be applied to the projects for which a substantive loan
request is made in October 2003 and later. The projects for which an approval of loan was
already given or a substantive loan request was made before October 2003, the previous
"Environmental Guidelines for International Financial Operations", "JBIC Environmental
Guidelines for ODA loans" or the relevant will be applied. However, in advance of the full
implementation, JBIC has been implementing since October 2002 the key items set forth in
the guidelines, including the checklist, category classification, its disclosure, and the
disclosure of environmental review.

National and State Environmental Policies

The National Environmental Policy (NEP) 2006 is a response to national commitment to clean
environment mandated in the Indian Constitution and is intended to mainstream
environmental concerns in all development activities. NEP recognizes environmental
degradation as a major causal factor in enhancing and perpetuating poverty particularly among
the rural poor. One of the key objectives of NEP is to integrate environmental concerns into
policies, plans, programmes and projects for economic and social development. This policy
has evolved from the recognition that only such development is sustainable, which respects
environmental and ecological constraints. In order to achieve sustainable development,
environmental protection shall constitute an integral part of the development process and
cannot be considered in isolation from it.
In consistent with NEP, Haryana and Rajasthan state environmental policy focuses the
necessity of development in environmental friendly manner. State policy identifies poverty as
the root cause of environmental degradation and encourages sustainable development for
poverty reduction in order to support 16 % of country population with 7 % geographical area.
2.2.6
National and State Forest Policies

Government of India in the erstwhile Ministry of Food and Agriculture enunciated a National
Forest Policy to be followed in the management of State Forests in the country long time back
in 1952. However, forests in the country have serious depletion over the years. The need to
review the situation and to evolve a new strategy of forest conservation for the future has
become imperative. In view of this, National Forest Policy has been revised in 1988. The
principal aim of new Forest Policy is to ensure environmental stability and maintenance of
ecological balance including atmospheric equilibrium which is vital for sustenance of all life
forms, human, animal and plant. The derivation of direct economic impact must be
subordinated to this principal aim. As mandated by this policy, a minimum of 33 % of total
geographical area under forest/tree cover has been determined desirable.
State Policy for Forestry Development
In the foregoing background the State's Policy from the angle of forestry development are
envisaged as under:
-
Conservation of unique rich heritage, cultural and ethnical traditions of conservation of

floral and faunal diversity and gene pool reserves through a network of protected areas, such
as National Parks, Sanctuaries, Biosphere Reserves and Closed Areas.
Conservation of rare and endangered species of flora and fauna of the state by undertaking
in-situ and ex-situ conservation measures and establishing linkages with the natural habitats
of the species for their rehabilitation.
Providing proper protection to the wildlife in multiple use areas forming corridors and
linking them up with the protected areas for genetic continuity.
Development of research and monitoring facilities for scientific understanding of species

and ecosystems, population and habitats for sustainable management of biodiversity
resources of the state.
Protection and development of natural forest ecosystems for sustainable production and
consumption of goods and services.
Promoting eco development around protected areas with the involvement of local people and
NGOs.
Enhancing productivity of forests, public wastelands and optimising production from private
Page 2-13

degraded lands.
2.2.7
Ecological restoration of all degraded forests, public wastelands (Community/Panchayat)

and private degraded lands by using appropriate technology and management inputs based
on land capability classes.
Combating desertification by undertaking various measures, such as, in-situ soil and water
conservation and water harvesting, sand dune stabilisation and promoting combined
production systems, namely, agro-forestry, silvi-pastoral, agri-silvi-pastoral, agrihorticultural systems.
Augmenting fuelwood, fodder, timber and non-timber forest products for meeting the
demands of local people and the state, with particular focus on fuelwood and fodder
production.
Promoting efficient utilisation of forest products and maximising substitution of wood.
Empowerment of the village forest protection committees for sustainable management of the
forests managed under Joint Forest Management Systems.
Development of facilities for processing, grading, value addition and marketing of nontimber forest products especially in tribal areas.
Strengthening forestry research base for enhancing productivity of forests and promoting
rational utilisation of forest products.
Extension and dissemination of research findings and proven technologies for adoption by
the users, government, non-government and private individuals.
Providing support services to the farmers for promotion of agro-forestry through a system of
incentives.
Instituting human resource development through a proper system of career planning and
development for upgrading the technical and professional skills of forestry personnel.
Shifting the onus of management of forests from the traditional management practices to
people oriented approaches by internalising intensive and extensive participatory strategies
in the working system of the Forest Department.
Education and awareness raising through interpretation aimed at public appreciation of the
importance of wildlife to human society.
Bringing forestry close to people by creating massive peoples movement with the
involvement of women to minimise pressure on the existing forests.
Resettlement and Rehabilitation Policy

There is no comprehensive legislation, as yet, at the National or State level that governs the
resettlement and rehabilitation of PAPs. Ministry of Rural Development (Department of Land
Resources) approved a National Policy on Resettlement and Rehabilitation (NPRR) for
Project Affected Families (PAFs), 2003, published in the Gazette of India on 17th February
2004. It recognizes the following essential features:
That project affected families (PAF) not only lose their lands, other assets and livelihoods,
they also experience adverse psychological and social/cultural consequences;
The need to minimize large-scale displacement and where displacement is inevitable,
resettlement and rehabilitation has to be handled with utmost care. This is especially necessary
for tribal, small and marginal farmers and women;

That cash compensation alone is often inadequate to replace lost agricultural land, homesteads
and other resources. Landless labourers, forest dwellers, tenants, artisans are not eligible for
cash compensation;
The need to provide relief especially to the rural poor (with no assets), small and marginal
farmers, SCs/ STs and women;
The importance of dialogue between PAFs and the administration responsible for resettlement
for smoother implementation of projects and R &R.
The policy is in the form of broad guidelines and executive instructions and will be applicable
to projects displacing 500 families or more in plain areas and 250 families or more in hilly
areas.
The NPRR does not meet some of the International Funding Agencies (World Bank, ADB
etc.) resettlement policy's key requirements. Firstly, the NPRR states that in acquisitions for
highways, railway lines, transmission lines and pipelines, project affected families will be
offered an ex-gratia payment of Rs 10,000 and no other resettlement and rehabilitation
benefits. Secondly, the cut-off numbers of affected persons for whom World Bank requires
resettlement plans are much lower. Thirdly, replacement value is not clearly defined and more
importantly is not taken into account in the various lump-sum compensation payments that
have been decreed in the policy. Fourthly, no specific entitlements have been provided for
untitled persons such as squatters and encroachers. However, the policy does recognize some
significant principles. It requires projects to (a) minimize displacement and to identify nondisplacing or least-displacing alternatives; (b) plan the resettlement and rehabilitation of PAPs
including special needs of tribal and vulnerable sections; (c) provide a better standard of living
to PAFs; and (d) facilitate harmonious relationships between the requiring body and PAFs
through mutual cooperation. A National Monitoring Committee will be set up comprising the
Secretary Land Resources (Chair), Secretary Planning Commission, Secretary Social Justice
and, Secretary Water Resources, Secretary Tribal Affairs, Secretary Railways, Secretary
Power and Secretary Coal. In addition a National Monitoring Cell will be established in the
Department of Land Resources in the Ministry of Rural Development under a Joint Secretary,
assisted by zonal directors, subject matter specialists, deputy directors and other support staff.
In view of many deficiencies identified in NPRR, this existing policy has been reviewed and a
draft Rehabilitation Policy at the National Level, that has been formulated and awaits approval
by the central government. It is expected that it will be cleared by parliament session this year
and that it would become as National Rehabilitation Act of 2006 which makes new
compensation scheme for resettlement and rehabilitation of PAPs mandatory. In brief, the
proposed policy acknowledges the inadequate measures taken in the past and inaccessibility to
studies, reports and data about the projects, for PAPs and NGOs. It suggests full access and
information disclosure to PAPs and NGOs to ensure effective participation and representation.
The draft policy further emphasizes the need for a separate institutional framework and
organizational structure, as well as a sustained system for monitoring and evaluating
resettlement and rehabilitation projects.
R & R under Current Project
Resettlement & Rehabilitation Framework for this project has been elaborated and subjected
to the objectives and the scope of following guidelines and policies.

consultation sessions. Considerable references were made to the earlier R&R experiences
from the Railway project financed by ADB and other best-demonstrated practices in Gujarat
and India.

CHAPTER 4 EXISTING ENVIRONMENT

4.1
GENERAL
Rajasthan is located in the northwestern part of the subcontinent. It is bounded on the west and
northwest by Pakistan, on the north and northeast by the states of Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar
Pradesh, on the east and southeast by the states of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, and on
the southwest by the state of Gujarat. The Tropic of Cancer passes through its southern tip in
the Banswara District. The state has an area of 342,239 km2. The capital city is Jaipur.
In the west, Rajasthan is relatively dry and infertile; this area includes some of the Thar Desert,
also known as the Great Indian Desert. In the southwestern part of the state, the land is wetter,
hilly, and more fertile. The climate is variable in Rajasthan. On average winter temperatures
ranges from 8 to 28 C and summer temperatures range from 25 to 46 C. Average variable
rainfall accumulates accumulate about 100 mm annually in western deserts, while the
southeastern part of the state receives 650 mm annually, most of which falls from July to
September during the monsoon season. There are 32 districts in Rajasthan, out of which seven
fall in the DFC alignment.

APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY

The approach of the study involved review of secondary data and primary survey of the
project area. The secondary data is used to compile the regional features whereas the primary
data is used to describe project influence area. The study consists of reviewing topography,
geology, soil, groundwater, hydrology, landscape, flora and fauna of the project area. The
primary survey is followed by consultation with local people to obtain the relevant
information about the area.
The standard quadrate method with random sampling approach was used to characterize the
vegetation of the forest area under the project. Quadrate size 10 m x 10 m was used for the
flora study.
(1)
Flora Assessment Techniques

The density measurements reflect as to how many individuals were present, the dominance
measurements denote which species is largest in terms of its presence and the frequency
measurements indicate how widely species is distributed among the same plots importance
value is a reasonable measure to assess the overall significance of a species since it takes into
Page 4-1

account several properties of the species in the vegetation. Importance value index will be
calculated as per Curtes & Mc Intosh (1950).

TOPOGRAPHY
Alwar District is situated at 268 m above mean sea level.
In Sikar District, eastern part of Moondwara is a less fertile area covered by sand dunes. South
and west part of the village are comparatively fertile. Agriculture is dependent on monsoon
and electricity. Presently, a lot of farms use boring wells for irrigation. The inhabitation's
village covers an area of 500 acres.
The south-eastern area of Jaipur District is higher in elevation (100 to 350 m above sea level)
and more fertile, has a very diversified topography. In the south lies the hilly tract of Mewar.
In the southeast, a large area of the districts of Kota and Bundi forms a tableland, and to the
northeast of these districts, is a rugged region (badlands) following the line of the Chambal
River. Further north the country levels out; the flat plains of the north-eastern Bharatpur
District are part of the alluvial basin of the Yamuna River.
The eastern portion of the Ajmer District is generally flat, broken only by gentle undulations,
but the western parts, from north-west to south-west, are intersected by the great Aravalli
Range. Many of the valleys in this region are sandy deserts, part of India's Thar Desert, with
an occasional oasis of cultivation, but there are also some very fertile tracts; among these is
the plain on which lies the town of Ajmer. This valley, however, is not only fortunate in
possessing a noble artificial lake, but is protected by the massive walls of the Nagpathar range
or Serpent rock, which forms a barrier against the sand. The only hills in the district are the
Aravalli Range and its offshoots.
Pali District is situated at 180-500 m. above sea level.
Sirohi District is in the shape of an irregular triangle, with the apex near the village of Harji in
the extreme e north and the base extending west by north-west from a point where the
territories of the former states of Sirohi, Idar and Danta met. It is much broken up hills and
rocky ranges. The main feature is the almost isolated mountain of Abu, the highest peak of
which, Guru Sikhar, rises 1,722 m above the mean sea level. The mountain is situated near the
southern border. It is separated by a narrow pass from an adjacent range of narrow hills which
runs in north-eastern direction almost up to Sheoganj and divides the district into two not very
unequal parts. Most of the area of tehsils Reodar, Sirohi and Sheoganj lies in the western part
of these hills.
4.4
(1)
GEOLOGY
Alwar
Semi-arid, the region is largely an elevated, undulating plateau broken by hills and rocky
ranges of the Aravallis. The rocks exposed in the district are pre-Delhi granites, granite,
gneisses, schist and Alwar, Ajabgarh and Rialto formation of Delhi group.
(2)
Sikar
Archaean Basement Rocks (2500 Ma): The Banded Gneissic Complex (BGC) with enclaves
of amphibolites and intrusive granitoids such as Untala granite, Gingla granite, Berach granite
etc., which form the basement for Aravalli and other younger meta-sediments.
(3)
Jaipur
The rocks exposed in the district are pre-Delhi granites, granite, gneisses, schist and Alwar,
Ajabgarh and Rialto formation of Delhi group. The major part of the district is covered by
Page 4-3
ESIMMS Report

quarter- hairy sediments. The pre-Delhi group of rocks comprises Mica-schists and gneisses.
Occupy a major part of the western part of the district. The rocks of Delhi form super group
from high relief in the north, north-east and south-eastern part of the district. The Rajalos are
exposed in a small patch towards north-east of the district. The Aravalli hills and piedmont,
plains contain good amount a fractures/lineaments because of multiphase tectonic movement.
The lineament is generally parallel to the great boundary fruit of Rajasthan, Lineament
intersection density also counted per 10 km2.
(4)
Nagaur
The Nagaur-Ganganagar basin1 in western Rajasthan, India is an elongated, asymmetrical
sedimentary basin trending NNE-SSW. Jodhpur Gp., Bilara Gp., Hanseran Evaporite Gp. and
Nagaur Gp. constitute the late Proterozoic-early Cambrian sedimentary package (Marwar
Super Gp.) which rests on the Rhyolytic Basement (Malani Rhyolite) dated 680Ma. The
Jodhpur and Nagaur Groups are essentially clastic units whereas the intermediate Bilara Gp. is
comprised of limestone and dolomite. The Hanseran Evaporite Gp. is a coeval facies
equivalent of the Bilara carbonates. Presence of algal facies, stromatolites, ripple lamintes,
mud-crack and mudchip conglomerates indicate shallow marine peritidal depositional
environment for the Bilara carbonates. Owing to lack of characteristic faunal evidence and
radiogenic dates from Bilara rocks, its correlation with globally recorded late Neoproterozoic
carbonates and evaporates has been enigmatic. Combination of lithostratigraphy and
chemostratigraphy can be used as a potent tool for stratigraphic correlation particularly when
sections are sparsely fossiliferous. In an effort to constrain the age and to shed light on the
paleoenvironment of the unmetamorphosed Bilara carbonates a detailed analysis of its carbon
and oxygen isotope geochemistry was performed.
(5)
Ajmer
Ajmer is almost totally devoid of rivers, the Banas being the only stream, which can be
dignified with that name, and it only touches the south-eastern boundary of the district so as to
irrigate the pargana of Samur. Four small streams--the Sagarmati, Saraswati, Khari and Dai-also intersect the district. In the dry weather they are little more than brooks.
The district is divided into four subdivisions, Ajmer, Beawar, Kekri and Kishangarh, and
further subdivided into six tehsils, Ajmer, Beawar, Nasirabad, Kekri, Kishangarh and Sarwar.
(6)
Pali
The rocks exposed in the district are pre-Delhi granites, granite, gneisses, schist and Alwar,
Ajabgarh and Rialto formation of Delhi group. The major part of the district is covered by
quarter- hairy sediments. The pre-Delhi group of rocks comprising Mica-schists and gneisses
occupy a major part of the district.
(7)
Sirohi
Sirohi District is broken up by hills and rocky ranges. The granite massif of Mount Abu
divides the district into two portions, running from north-east to south-west. The south and
south-east part of the district, which lies between Mount Abu and the main spine of the
Aravallis, is mountainous and rugged, and is drained by the West Banas River. Abu Road, a
station on the main Delhi-Ahmedabad rail line, lies in the valley of the West Banas.
4.5
SOIL
The soils of the Arid Zone are generally sandy to sandy-loam in texture. The consistency and
depth vary according to the topographical features. The low-lying loams are heavier and may
Page 4-4
ESIMMS Report
October 2007
have a hard pan of clay, calcium carbonate (CaCO3) or gypsum. The pH varies between 7 and
9.5. The soils improve in fertility from west and northwest to east and northeast. Desert soils
are Regosols of wind blown sand and sandy fluiratile deposits, derived from the disintegration
of rock in the subjacent areas and blown in from the coastal region and the Indus Valley.
Some of these soils contain a high percentage of soluble salts in the lower horizons, turning
water in the wells poisonous. Being poor in organic matter they show a low loss on ignition.
They contain varying amount of calcium carbonate.
4.6
CLIMATE
The state has a hot summer, scanty rainfall, a chilly winter season and general dryness of the
air except in brief monsoon season. The average maximum & minimum temperature are 46 &
00C respectively. The normal rainfall, mostly received from southwest monsoon varies
between 466 mm and 570 mm.
4.7
LAND USE
Alwar District of Rajasthan has an important place in Agriculture production. Total
geographical area of the district is 782,897 ha which is about 2.5% of the State. In the year
2001-2002 the net cultivated area is 509,107 ha from which about 83% area viz. - 426,204 is
irrigated and remaining 17 percent area viz. - 82,903 is unirrigated. Double cropped area is
272,508 ha of which 32,230 ha (12%) area is irrigated and remaining 240,278 ha (88%) area is
unirrigated. Thus, the total cropped area of the district is 781,615 ha. In Kharif season Bajra,
Maize, Jowar, Karif pulses, Arhar, Sesamum, Cotton, Guar etc. are sown in about 3,29,088 ha
(42%) and in Rabi season Wheat, Barley, Gram, Mustard, Taramira, Rabi pulses etc. are sown
in about 4,52,527 ha (58%).
In Jaipur District about 52% area is under Net Sown Area (NSA). More than 60% NSA is
found in central and eastern parts of the district indicating high ground water potentiality
particularly in younger alluvial plains of Bangansa and Bandi riverse. Medium intensity of
NSA is found in north-eastern areas, viz. are Kotoutly, Baswa, Phagi and Chaksu tehsil. In
these areas ground water potentiality is medium to low and very low water potential areas of
western, north-western and south part of the district.

Between Mavanda, Jilo and Neem ka Thana Station - Dokan Protected forest is approximate
1.5 km away from DFC in eastern side. Bhudou Forest and Ganwari Forrest are approximate
2.5 to 7.5 km. away from DFC line in Eastern side.
Jaipur
In Jaipur District, there are reserved, protected and unclassed forests. It covers the entire area
of civil district of Jaipur, four tehsils namely Bamanvas, Nadoti, Tedabhim and Mahuwa of
Sawaimadhopur District and some parts of Alwar and Sikar Districts. The tract lies in the
Eastern part of Rajasthan between 75 o 45 E to 77 o 05 E longitude and 77 o 15 N to 28 o 30 N
latitudes. The approximate stretches of the area from North to South and East to West are
160 km and 200 km respectively.
The Jaipur Forest Division is bounded in the North by common border with Haryana, in North
East by Alwar District, in the East by Sawai-madhopur District, in the south by Tonl and
Sawai Madhopur in the west by Ajmer and in the North West by Nagpur and Sikar Districts.
The total land area of the Division is 16,440 km2. Out of which 1,424 km area is under the
possession of Forest Department. Thus, area under the forest is namely 8.7% of the total land
area. It is furthermore alarming that only about 20% being blank, depleted, barren hills, and
degraded forester. Detailed Data described in Annex-4.2.
(3)
Nagaur
The district of Nagaur is poor in forest resources. The total area under including hills, is
reported to be 221.4 km2, which is 1.2% of total geographical area of the district. Scanty
rainfall & other geographical constraints account for this. The western part of the district is
divided of natural vegetation cover except for low hurbs & grass which grows on low sand
dunes. However, the south-eastern part of the district and part of the northern tehsil of Ladnun
and Didwana have much greater greenery as compared to north-west part of the. Khejri
District, trees are commonly found in the district. It's leaves are used as fodder. It also gives
gum. Apart from commercial value, this tree is considered holy. The tree also plays an
important role in checking soil erosion. The other common species found in the district are
babul, neem, shisham, peepal, rohira, kalsi, dhangood, akara etc. Rohira and shisham trees
provide timber and are used for making furniture. Dhangood is generally used for making cots.
A common shrub-phog provides building material from its roots & twigs. Common grass
found in the district include bargers, bhambar etc.

Ajmer
The Ajmer forests lie in five ranges namely, Ajmer, Kishangarh, Beawar, Sarwar and Raoll.
These ranges are all with in Ajmer revenue district. Bhim Range of Udaipur District, which
used to be in Ajmer Forest Division has been gently transferred to Udaipur Forest Division
and has been excluded from this working plan.
The tract lies nearly in the central portion of Rajasthan between 250 38 and 26052 North
latitude and 73054 and 75024East longitude. Nagaur and Jaipur District, in the South by
Udaipur and Bhilwara Districts, in the East by Jaipur, Tonk and Bhilwara Districts and in the
West by Nagaur and Pali Districts of Rajasthan, bound Ajmer Forest Division in the North.
Page 4-6
ESIMMS Report
October 2007
The total land area of the Division is 8,479 km2. Out of which 592 km2 area is under forest,
which works out to about 7% of the total land area. The Headquarters of the Division is
located at Ajmer. Detailed data is described in Annex-4.2.
(5)
Pali
The Pali Forest Division is bounded by the various civil district of Rajasthan and Banaskantha
region of Gujarat State. In the Northwest, these are bounded by Jodhpur and Nagaur Districts.
In the west by Barmer District, in the South by Banaskantha and Sirohi Districts, in the NorthEast by Ajmer District and in the South-east by Udaipur District.
The track lies in the South-Western portion of Rajasthan in Between 24037 and 260 29 N
latitudes and 710 11 and 740 18 E longitude. The whole track is covered by 57 G.T. Sheets
published by Survey of India. The Forest Range at that time was in Ajmer Forest division,
later transferred in Pali Forest Division. Similarly in Bali Range 20.2 km2 was transferred to
the Forest department from Bera Jagir Forest. The increase in total area in this plan was
291.1 km2. A difference of 1.81 sq. km. in the Forest area can be due to these reasons, which
is almost negligible. Detailed data is described in Annex-4.2.
Dry deciduous forest is common in this part of the district, and the higher elevations of Mount
Abu are covered in conifer forests.
The portion of the district west and north of Mount Abu is drier, lying in the rain shadow of
the mountain, which blocks the southwest monsoon. The southwest corner of the district is
drained by the Sukri river, an intermittent stream that drains the western slope of Mount Abu.
The northwestern portion of the district is drained by tributaries of the Luni River. The
Northwestern thorn scrub forests cover the western and northern portion of the
district.Detailed Description given in Annex-4.2.
(6)
Sirohi
Sirohi District is broken up by hills and rocky ranges. The granite massif of Mount Abu
divides the district into two portions, running from north-east to south-west. The south and
south-east part of the district, which lies between Mount Abu and the main spine of the
Aravallis, is mountainous and rugged, and is drained by the West Banas River. Abu Road, a
station on the main Delhi-Ahmedabad rail line, lies in the valley of the West Banas. Dry
deciduous forest is common in this part of the district, and the higher elevations of Mount Abu
are covered in conifer forests.
The portion of the district west and north of Mount Abu is drier, lying in the rain shadow of
the mountain, which blocks the southwest monsoon. The southwest corner of the district is
drained by the Sukri river, an intermittent stream that drains the western slope of Mount Abu.
The northwestern portion of the district is drained by tributaries of the Luni River. The
Northwestern thorn scrub forests cover the western and northern portion of the district.

Fauna
Due to scanty vegetation growth in this region, not much of varied animal life is found in this
State. Despite this, still a large variety of animals are found in this area. The different variety
of faunal life can be categorized as (i) Primates, (ii) Carnivores, (iii) Angulate, (iv) Rodents,
(v) Lagomorpha, (vi) Insectivore and (vii) Crustivore. Corresponding to its variegated
topography and climate, the state has a wealth of animal life. Its avifauna is among the richest
in the country.
In Rajasthan mostly domestic animal like cow, sheep, buffalo, goat and camel are reported in
the study area. The wild animals are such as Fox, Hayna, Veranus griessus asudin, Bungarus
coerulens, Canis aureus (Linn.) Presbytis entellus (Dufrasne) and Lapus nigricollis dayanus
(Geoffroy). Neelgai (Blue bull), antelopes and wild hares also exist in the area Table 4-23.

The above table indicates that majority of people in rural sector are cultivators & agricultural
labours which indicates dominant agricultural economy. A small section of people are engaged
as workers in household industries. But in urban sector the existing scenario is completely
reversed there most of the people are engaged in non-agricultural activity especially in
industrial sector. Though the corridor is mostly passing through villages, major thrust should
be on rural sector. In Alwar 70.9% of total worker engaged in agriculture sector and 29.1% of
total worker engaged in nonagriculture sector. In Sikar District, 66% of total workers are
engaged in agriculture sector and 34% in nonagriculture sector. In Jaipur District 45.4% of
total worker engaged in agriculture sector and 54.6% of total worker engaged in nonagriculture sector. In Nagaur 72.3% of total worker engaged in agriculture sector and 27.7% of
total worker engaged in nonagriculture sector. . In Ajmer, 47.80 %of total worker are
engaged in agriculture sector and 52.2% in nonagriculture sector. In Pali 56.8% of total
workers engaged in agriculture sector and 43.2% of total worker engaged in nonagriculture
sector. In Sirohi, 50.6% of total worker engaged in agriculture sector and 49.4% of total
worker engaged in nonagriculture sector.

the state. The average per capita income in rural area of Alwar District is Rs.27,516 whereas
the per capita income in urban area is Rs.56,962 which is higher. However the average per
capita income in rural sectors of the project-affected region is Rs.28,418 It is very much clear
that the average per capita income in rural sector is almost half of urban sector which reflects
that rural economy is still very much poor than urban economy and there is hardly any
considerable difference between Alwar District figure and figure of project affected region.
The average per capita income in rural area of Sikar District is Rs.28,295 whereas, in urban
area, it is Rs.30,468. However, the average per capita income in rural sectors of the projectaffected region is Rs.28,418, which is almost half of urban sector (48,287).
The average per capita income in rural area of Jaipur District is Rs.26,170 whereas in urban
area, it is Rs.60,282. However, the average per capita income in rural sector of the projectaffected region is Rs.28, 418. The average per capita income in rural sector is almost half of
urban sector and trend is the same in both in Jaipur District and the project affected region.
The average per capita income in rural area of Nagaur District is Rs.26,754whereas the per
capita income in urban area is Rs.34,178 which is higher. However the average per capita
income in rural sectors of the project-affected region is Rs.28,418 It is very much clear that
the average per capita income in rural sector is almost half of urban sector which reflects that
rural economy is still very much poor than urban economy and there is hardly any
considerable difference between Nagaur District figure and figure of project affected region.

The average per capita income in rural area of Ajmer District is Rs.33,776 whereas, in urban
area, it is Rs.44,644. However, the average per capita income in rural sectors of the projectaffected region is Rs.28,418 which is almost half of urban sector.
The average per capita income in rural area of Pali District is Rs.32,680 whereas the per capita
income in urban area is Rs.60,827 which is much higher. However the average per capita
income in rural sectors of the project-affected region is Rs.28,418 It is very much clear that
the average per capita income in rural sector is almost half of urban sector which reflects that
rural economy is still very much poor than urban economy and there is hardly any
considerable difference between Pali District figure and figure of project affected region.
The average per capita income in rural area of Sirohi District is Rs.23,738 whereas in urban
area, it is Rs.50,299. However, the average per capita income in rural sectors of the projectaffected region is Rs.28,418. The average per capita income in rural sector is almost half of
urban sector which indicates that rural economy is still very poor than urban economy and
there is no considerable difference between figures of Sirohi District and of the project
affected region.
4.10.5 Land Holding
Land holding size indicates economic condition of a farmer and his contribution to the
economy. The average size of holdings is continually declining in the State. Among the major
states, the highest percentage of households possessing cultivated land was in Rajasthan
(78.2%). As per latest available information, 43.1% holdings are of less than 1 ha and are
marginal farmers. The average size of 90% of small and marginal farmers is about 0.42 ha.
19.6% holdings are range from 1 to 2 ha and are small farmers. 19.0% farmers e have land
holding of 2 to 4 ha, 11.9% farmers, land holding of 4 to 10 ha and only 2.3% farmers, land
holding of more than 10 ha. Graphical representation of land holding of Rajasthan is shown in
Figure 4-15. Table 4-43 shows comparative holding size in Rajasthan during 1985-86 and
1995-96. It is gradually decreasing which has direct bearing on land use, occupational pattern
and economy.

4.10.6 Other Key Socio-Economic Indicators

(1)
Literacy Rate
Literacy level is quantifiable indicator to assess the development status of any area or region.
It is 61.7 % within Alwar District; this rate same to 61.8% for project-affected region and
again deceases up to 60.4% when entire state is taken into account. It is 70.5% in Sikar
District, 69.9% in Jaipur District, 57.3% within Nagaur District, 64.6 % in Ajmer District,
54.5% in Pali District and 53.9% in Sirohi District as compared to 60.4% in the state and
61.8 % in the project affected region.

Percentage of working population is another important socio-economic indicator to assess

overall economic condition of a region. Generally greater working population represents
stronger economy. It is clear from Source: Census Report 2001 that non-working people
consist of the majority of the population at state, region and district level. State and regional
figures reveal that 42.1% of the total population work at various sector in the society whereas
it is 39.3 % in Alwar District, 31.5% in Sikar District, 35.5% in Jaipur District, 40.7% in
Nagaur District, 39.3% in Ajmer District, 39.8% in Pali District and 40.4% in Sirohi District.

Awareness among women about RTI/STI & HIV/AIDS

Awareness about respiratory/stomach infection or HIV/AIDS is necessary as there is potential
risk of spreading of these during construction phase.
As shown in Figure 4-52, it can be observed that in Alwar District women have low awareness
for RTI/STI & HIV/AIDS but for the entire project affected region point of view these two
figures are little bit better. As far RTI/STI is concerned almost 52.4% population is aware in
Project affected district On the other hand, approximately 36.4% of population is aware about
HIV/AIDS in Project affected region(65.6% in Per, 29.1% in Alwar District)

IMPACT
EVALUATION AND MITIGATION MEASURES
INTRODUCTION
Potential environmental impact evaluation involves prediction of potential impacts by the
development of the project on the surrounding area. Based on baseline environmental status
described in part II and proposed project activities, potential impacts have been assessed,
predicted and appropriate mitigation measures are suggested to avoid/reduce/compensate the
potential adverse impacts and enhance the positive impacts. The impacts due to development
of the proposed Dedicated Freight Corridor are assessed for planning, construction and
implementation phases.
The following activities are likely to cause impact:
-
5.2
Construction of Embankment
Vegetation removal
Settlements removal
Utilities shifting
Transportation of construction material
Establishment of construction/ labour camp
Borrow areas
IMPACT EVALUATION METHODOLOGY

The project is likely to have some potential impacts during planning, construction and
operation phases. Appropriate mitigation measures are proposed to mitigate/reduce/eliminate
the adverse impacts. Impact matrix is prepared depicting nature of impact by various activities
on the environmental parameters.
Within the framework of DFC Project study, a simple method determining potential existence
of impact has been employed. The magnitude and importance of the impacts caused by the
project is presented. Matrix system is considered as a tool for organizing and presenting
information on the environmental impacts caused to the natural and social environment by the
DFC Project. Thus, the following parameter and scales are used for producing matrix impacts
(Table 5-1).
For the assessment of impacts, the following criteria are used.

October 2007
Topography and Geology

Planning Phase
During planning phase, no impact is envisaged on the topography and geology of the project
area.
(2)
Construction Phase
-
During construction phase change in topography is envisaged due to clearing of land,

felling trees, cutting and filling of land and construction of structures.
Construction of railway embankment is also likely to change the view of the landscape.
Filling and cutting of land will be required in detour stretch where it traverses through
undulating topography.
However, changes will be limited within ROW of the track hence overall impact will
be insignificant.
No impact is envisaged on geology due to the project.
Mitigation measures

Post-Construction Phase
-
5.3.2
(1)
No impact is envisaged on topography and geology in post-construction phase.
Soil
Planning Phase
-
(2)
Plantation program may be carried out to improve the aesthetic look of the
construction area.
No impact is envisaged on soil erosion during planning phase. Hence no mitigation

measures are required.
Construction Phase
-
Clearing of land, cutting of trees, excavation of borrow areas are likely to trigger soil
erosion. Movement of vehicle/machinery/equipments and working force is also likely
to cause soil erosion.
The detour section is likely to traverse through agricultural and forest land which will
require clearing of the land.
Soil of the agricultural area is fertile and consists of alluvial deposits; loss of fertile
soil is likely to occur.
Borrow areas will be required for the project. Most portion of the DFC is embankment
and cutting. The volume of earthwork estimated for the DFC corridor for embankment
is 26,363,000 m3, for blanket material 8,208,000 m3, for embankment & blanket
34,571,000 m3 and for cutting 773,000 m3. The borrow areas are likely to cause soil
erosion and affect agricultural areas.
Pits may be formed due borrowing which may cause harm to local residents in the
vicinity.

Mitigation Measures
(3)
Suitable protection measures consisting of bio-engineering techniques such as

plantation of grasses and shrubs and check dams, may be provided to control erosion.
Borrow areas may be finalized in concern with ecological sensitivity of the area.
Agriculture land may not be used as borrow areas. Priority may be given to degraded
area for excavation of borrows material. Rehabilitation of borrow area may be taken
under the project.
Construction work may be avoided during rainy season to evade erosion and spreading
of loose material.
Top soil removed from agricultural land may be stored separately in bunded areas and
utilized during plantation or refilling of excavated area.
Selection of borrow areas may be done considering the waste land available in the
district. Agricultural areas may be not used as borrow areas.
A separate borrow area management plan may be made providing location, ownership
details, timing of borrowing and rehabilitation measures.

Hydrology (Rivers and Lakes)

Planning Phase
-
(2)
Formation of stagnant pools may not be allowed near construction sites especially near
workshop from where oil and other pollutants may seep into water.
No impact is envisaged on hydrological cycle during planning phase
Construction Phase
-
As per the baseline status and project site condition as described in earlier section,
project site and its vicinity is highly vulnerable to drainage and flood. The impact due
to drainage and flood is critical both during construction and operation. The
construction of DFC will have long term and regional impact on drainage and flood.
Page 5-3
ESIMMS Report
October 2007
Drainage and flood problems during construction due to stockpiling of materials,

debris and construction of temporary approach road and yards would have impact of
temporary nature
Local drainage may be affected during construction phase due to formation of

embankments. During the construction stage, the embankment should be designed in
such a way that natural drainage pattern is not disturbed to avoid water logging in the
low-lying area.
Drainage pattern of the area may be studied in detail and suitable management plan
may be prepared in the Detailed Design stage.
Mitigation Measures
(3)
Provision of temporary drainage arrangement due to construction activities must be

made by the contractor and suitable and strict clause incorporated in general conditions
of the contract document for its effective implementation.
Silt fencing may be provided near water bodies
Proper drainage may be planned in the area to avoid water logging.
Implementation Phase
-
Local drainage is likely to be affected due to formation of Railway Embankment.
Mitigation Measures
5.3.5
(1)
Cross drainage structures may be provided.
Flora
Planning Phase
-
No major impact is envisaged on flora in planning phase. Only trees along the railway
corridor and trees in private land need to be felled for laying down the Dedicated
Freight Corridor.
The private land owners may be compensated for the loss of trees. Rates of trees as
provided by the Forest Department are given in Table 5-3.

Construction Phase
-
The construction activity involving clearing of site, felling of trees, settlement of

construction camps and office is likely to affect the flora and fauna of the area.
The tree species likely to be affected are Sheesham (Dalbergia sisoo),Vilayti Baool
(Prosopis Spp.), Neem (Azadirachta indica), Desi Babool (Acacia Spp.), Ber
(Zizyphus mauritiana), and Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus hybrid) planted outside forest area.
Acquisition of the forest land and construction activity is likely to disturb the habitat of
wildlife.
Tree cutting along the alignment is likely to affect the fauna, particularly the birds.
Disturbance will be caused to animals in their movement, feeding, breeding and

resting.
Page 5-5
ESIMMS Report
October 2007
The animal species likely to be affected do not fall in rare, threatened and endangered
category and are common in distribution.
Mitigation Measures
(3)
Felling of trees must be undertaken only after obtaining clearance from the Forest
Dept.
Trees outside the ROW should not be felled.
Compensation must be provided before initiating construction activity.
The loss of fruit bearing trees may be compensated including 5 years fruit yield.
Labour camps and office site may be located outside and away from the forest area.

Fauna
Planning Phase
-
(2)
No impact is envisaged on flora during post construction phase, however, development

of green belt is suggested near stations and maintenance of plantation may be
undertaken by Railway Dept. The plantation carried along alignment as compensatory
afforestation is likely to enhance the ecological condition of the area.
No impact is envisaged on fauna in planning phase
Construction Phase
-
The habitat of wildlife is likely to be disturbed during construction phase.
Nilgai- Boselaphus tragocamelus is the most common wildlife found in the area. The
construction activity is likely to affect the movement of the animal
Most of the fauna such as Vulpus bengalensis (Fox), Canis aureus (Jackal),etc. are
restricted towards the ravenous land. However, the construction activity is likely to
affect the resting, breeding and feeding activities of the animals.
Felling of trees is likely to affect the avifauna.
During construction near water bodies, the aquatic life is likely to be affected.
The impact on the Habitat is likely to be permanent, as the DFC will fragment the area,
restricting the movement of animals on either side.
Mitigation Measures
-
Crossing passages must be made for wildlife by provision of under pass followed with
some plantation so that it resembles with the habitat of wildlife and facilitates crossing
of wildlife.
Water Bodies may be developed inside forest areas for the birds.
Borrow areas can also be developed as ponds with grasses and shrubs planted around it.
Silt fencing may be used near water bodies to avoid runoff into the water bodies
Construction activity may be avoided during night hours in forest area.
Poaching must be strictly banned in the forest area. It may be ensured by the
Contractor that no hunting or fishing is practiced at the site by the workers and site
personnel are aware of the location, value and sensitivity of the wildlife resources
Page 5-6
ESIMMS Report
(3)
October 2007
Awareness program on Environment and Wildlife Conservation may be provided to

the work force. Forest Act and Wildlife Act may be strictly adhered to.
-
The movement of Freight Train is likely to restrict the movement of wildlife on either
side of the track
Possibilities of collision of wildlife with Freight train.
Disturbance to wildlife due to the noise produced during the passage of train.
Mitigation Measures
5.3.7
(1)
Animal underpasses made for wildlife near forest areas must be camouflaged to match
the surrounding environment with plantation of shrubs and trees.
Fencing if feasible, may be provided along DFC in wild life habitation concentration
areas to avoid collision.
Biodiversity
Planning Phase
-
(2)
No impact is envisaged on biodiversity during planning phase.
Construction Phase
-
The DFC is not likely to affect the biodiversity, as there are no endangered and
threatened species of flora and fauna.
The disturbance to flora (felling trees and acquiring agricultural land) and fauna is not
likely to change the biodiversity of the area. The alignment is not traversing through
National Park, Biosphere or Sanctuary.
Mitigation Measures
(3)
Plantation of forest and fruit trees species may be undertaken to maintain the diversity.
Forest, Horticulture and Agricultural Dept may be consulted.
The project must support habitat development program as a part of conservation of

biodiversity.
-
5.3.8
No impact is envisaged on biodiversity during post- construction phase.
Protected Areas/Sanctuaries
The DFC alignment is not traversing through any National Park and Sanctuary.
In Sikar District, the nearest sanctuary is Nahar Wildlife Sanctuary which is located 22 km
away from the project corridor. The DFC is likely to have no impact on the Nahar Wildlife
Sanctuary.
In Pali District there is Tadgarh Raoli wildlife sanctuary. There is no national park in the
district.
In Sirohi District, Wild Life sanctuary (WLS) is approximate 8 km away from DFC line in
eastern direction posing no harm to the wild life sanctuary.
Page 5-7
ESIMMS Report
October 2007
The Mount Abu Sanctuary 288 km. wide is located between 2433' and 2443' North latitude
and 7238' and 7253' East longitude in the hill station Mt. Abu having subtropical evergreen
forest. The oldest mountain ranges Aravalli are found in this sanctuary. This sanctuary was
declared as a Wildlife Sanctuary in 1960.
5.3.9

Landscape
Planning Phase
-
(2)
No impact on landscape during planning phase
Construction Phase
-
During construction phase, the landscape within the ROW of DFC is likely to alter due
to improper excavation of borrow pits, construction of temporary approach roads and
construction and labor camps are the usual practices degrading the existing topography
and landscape.
Mitigation Measures
(3)
Landscaping Plan involving the following may be formulated for restoration, leveling
and landscaping of the area after completion of construction activities.
The stockpiles may be designed such that the slope does not exceed 1:2 (vertical to
horizontal) and the height of the pile is restricted to 2 m.
Stockpiled topsoil may be used to cover the disturbed areas and cut slopes. The top
soil shall be utilized for redevelopment of borrows areas, landscaping along slopes,
incidental spaces, etc.
Incorporation of suitable and effective contractual clauses for rehabilitation and

restoration of borrow areas and other temporary works and landscaping it with
surrounding area immediately after its use
Landscaping of surrounding area with plantation, Ornamentals plants may be planted

near Stations.

SOCIAL IMPACT EVALUATION

Social impact evaluation includes the processes of analyzing, monitoring and managing the
intended and unintended social consequences, both positive and negative, of planned
interventions (policies, programs, plans, projects) and any social change processes invoked by
those interventions. Within the framework of DFC Project study, social environment impact
evaluation includes the following social consideration:
-
Mitigation of problems including involuntary resettlement
Local economy such as employment and livelihood
Land use and utilization of local resources
Social institutions such as social infrastructures and local decision institutions
Existing social infrastructure and services
Vulnerable social groups such as poor and indigenous peoples
Distribution of benefits and losses and equality in the developmental process
Social Impact Evaluation is an important component of the project preparation and is carried
out to avoid, mitigate or reduce potential negative social impacts and to make the project
socially viable and people friendly. The objective of social impact evaluation is to present the
social impacts of the project, so that social concerns are incorporated into the project design
and to avoid or minimize the adverse social impacts with the best possible engineering
solutions at the most optimal cost with complete co-ordination among the engineering,
environmental and social teams during the entire design process.

Approach and Methodology Adopted

Within the framework of DFC Project study, socio-economic survey was conducted in
Rajasthan State. Following methodology has been adopted to conduct social environment
impact evaluation study.
1)
Identified affected districts, sub-districts and villages where existing railway is passes
through in parallel and detour sections. The villages were identified by using the GPS
register as a positioning reference of the relevant points detour alignment, verified with
the geographical data available on Goggle Earth TM and the correspondent 1:50,000
scale topographic charts.
2)
Understanding perspective of the problems of PAFs and objective of the study
3)
Finalization of schedule/questionnaire
4)
Identification of Affected Structures
5)
a)
All affected structures were listed/counted at a distance of 25 m from the center of the
existing track nearest to DFC Project in the parallel section except selected crossing

Pre- Construction Phase and Construction Phase

Efforts are to be made to minimize the adverse impact of the project during the preconstruction and construction phase. Measures adopted for minimizing the adverse impacts
are:
-
Site selection for constructing infrastructure and other facilities are done in such a
manner, that it involves minimal involuntary resettlement. The area of land to be
acquired in each district is mentioned in the above section.
During design stage, extra care is to be taken to avoid affecting religious

structures/public property.
(2)

-
Loss of agricultural land and other types of land
Loss of residential/commercial structures
(3)
Mitigation Measures
-
Ensure timely payment of compensation for loss of land, structure and assets prior to
taking over the possession;
Provide assistance and support during the transition period for which they are entitled
Reconstruction of affected structures and relocation to new sites
Replacement of agriculture land or the value to PAFs
Positive impacts
DFC Project will result in substantial financial and social benefits. Several other macroscopic
and indirect benefits are as follows
-
The project will also lead to reduction in road congestion, reduction of air and noise
pollution.
The project will contribute towards increased speed and safety levels, which will help in
faster distribution of goods and services.
Maintaining and boosting the present trends of growth of economy of the country.
The project will facilitate higher accessibility to existing and new areas and relieve

Diversion out-lined through agricultural areas would bisect the existing coherent
agricultural communities;
Vegetation including large trees grown along the railway would be impacted.
2)
Construction and Post Construction Phase
Negative Impact
-
Number of farmers would become subject to involuntary changes of occupation.
Positive Impact
-
Inter city rapid passenger service will be possible by shortening the travel time because
of the exclusive use of the new line for passenger service.
Mitigation Measures
5.4.5
Replacement of agriculture land or appropriate compensation to the PAFs
One person in each affected family to be given the job as per eligibility or livelihood
restoration training programme to be given
Inducement of Land Speculation and Squatter Influx

This type of impact is expected between planning and final land acquisition process due to
purchase of land at marginal price by rich landlords and encroachment by squatter particularly
in urban fringe area in anticipation of getting higher compensation. The squatters found in
Rajasthan along the corridor are mentioned below. In Alwar, Nagaur, Ajmer, Pali and Sirohi
there are no squatters found on the corridor route.
However in Sikar there are 13 squatters in the route of corridor, out of which 6 are below
poverty level. In Jaipur, there are 12 squatters out of which 11 are below poverty level.
5.4.6
(1)
Removal of Encroachments and Squatter Influx

Alwar
No encroachment is noticed in Alwar District. Therefore, there would be no impact on the
livelihood and other related aspects of the encroachers and squatters.
(2)
Sikar
There is no encroachment is noticed in Sikar District. Therefore, there would be no impact on
the livelihood and other related aspects of the encroachers and squatters (Table 5-15).

Loss of Utilities and Amenities

The public utilities like water pipelines, irrigation facilities, gas pipelines, and transmission
towers will not be affected in Alwar, Nagaur, Pali and Sirohi Districts by the DFC Project.
However 6 wells/handpumps in Sikar District (Shri Madhopur Village (2), Bhagega Village,
Neem Ka Thana Village (2), and Mawanda Kalan Village), 5 wells/handpumps in Jaipur
District (one each in Narayna, Khandoli, Kishanmanpura, Badhal and Malikpura Village) and
one well/handpump in Ajmer District (Ladpura) are likely to be affected by the
implementation of parallel section of the corridor.

Impact on Vulnerable Section

Vulnerable section includes Women Headed Households (WHH), SC/ST and physically and
mentally handicap persons. It is observed that there is no impact on this category in Rajasthan
State.
5.4.9
Severance and Access

The severance and loss of accessibility is due to widening along parallel section or obstruction
in accessibility due to construction of detours and bisecting of habitation etc. In Rajasthan, no
such impact was observed, however, there would be negligible impact in accessibility of other
villages during the construction period. Therefore, temporary roads may be helpful in
accessing site during construction
(1)
Public Health and Safety

During construction period, health condition of the people may deteriorate due to unsanitary
condition of stations and railway toilets resulting in public health problems like spread of
malaria, respiratory problems and other contagious diseases. Due to insecure and unhealthy
practices during the construction period, STD, HIV/AIDS diseases may spread.
Solid waste disposed by the construction works as well as noise, vibration and dust emanating
during the construction period would adversely affect the local community.
Mitigation Measures
-
Safety aspects with fast train on DFC Corridor are major issues and adequate safety
provisions should be integrated with design.

5.4.11 Impact on Local Economy/ Employment & Livelihood

Although the impact on local economy/employment is negligible, however, it is noticeable
that agriculture is the main occupation of the affected people. About 90% of the work force is
dependent on agriculture and related activities and depend upon agriculture for their
livelihood.
1)
Pre construction and construction phase
Negative Impact
Agriculture being the main livelihood, the affected persons would lose their source of
livelihood and become subject to involuntary changes of occupation.
Mitigation Measures
-
Employment in the construction work
Livelihood restoration training programme
One member in each affected family-losing livelihood should be given job as per
eligibility
Positive Impacts
-
The project will generate tremendous requirement for the collection of goods for
transportation in bulk to the freight corridor lifting points and offloading points for their
carriage to the destination points. This will require more transporters and transport
workers leading to the growth of this sector creating a number of feeder corridors and
its associated local employment. The requirement of carriage of goods and services will
need more workers and trucks and also open up tremendous opportunities in a number
of diversified sectors due to the technical and operational requirements of the Freight
Corridor Project.
The Project could contribute to the local economy as local residents could enjoy a
temporary period of improvement of small-scale business for the construction workers
as well as to seize the opportunity for casual labour.
2)
Post Construction Period
Positive Impact
-
Ever increasing local business in district would significantly benefit for their business
opportunities in terms of transporting their products in the future.
Social Impact Matrix

POLLUTION CONTROL MEASURES
5.5.1
INTRODUCTION
October 2007
The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) is the statutory organization responsible to
prevent and control pollution. It serves as a field formation and also provides technical
services to the Ministry of Environment and Forests of the provisions of the Environment
(Protection) Act, 1986. State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) plays the role in environmental
management at the state level.
Pollution Control study involves monitoring of Noise and Vibration along the Proposed DFC
at selected Sensitive Receptors. The interview survey has been undertaken to get local people
perception about the environmental quality. Secondary data has been reviewed however the
availability of secondary data is limited with reference to Environmental Quality.
5.5.2
(1)
EXISTING CONDITION
Air Quality
Air pollution encompasses a diverse array of natural and anthropogenic emission including
gaseous constituents, volatile chemicals aerosols and their atmospheric reaction products.
Secondary data on air quality for Sikar, Jaipur, Nagaur, Ajmer, Pali and Sirohi District is not
available; however, the general condition of air quality is good along alignment as no
industries and factories are located along the alignment and agriculture is the main source of
economy in this region.
Secondary data on air quality for Alwar District has been collected from area of monitoring
station by Central Pollution Control Board. The air quality data of Alwar is shown below in
Table 5-39 to Table 5-42.

Water Quality
1)
Ground Water in the Study Area
Rain and river water percolates through the soil and sandy river beds to reach a hard stratum.
Percolated water gets accumulated there in large pools and are called aquifers. This forms
ground water. Soil texture and gradient of the area are the two major factors governing
percolation, recharging aquifers.
There is a vast potential of utilizing the ground water throughout the state of Rajasthan. At
present ground water is the only source of drinking, irrigation etc in the study area. People use
hand pumps, open wells or bore wells to draw water from ground. Ground water sample
collected from open well and was analyzed.
Apparent from the analysis of ground water presented in the following, the ground water
quality in the study area is quite good and is suitable for drinking purpose without any
treatment. The water quality fully conforms to the standards laid down WHO and BIS for
drinking purpose. Field data is not available for Alwar and Nagaur Districts.
2)
Ground Water Quality in Sikar District
Ground water quality in Sikar District is shown in the following tables.

Ground Water
Rain and river water percolates through the soil and sandy river beds to reach a hard stratum.
Percolated water gets accumulated there in large pools and are called aquifers. This forms
ground water. Soil texture and gradient of the area are the two major factors governing
percolation, recharging aquifers.
At present ground water is the only source of drinking, irrigation etc in the study area. People
use hand pumps, open wells or bore wells to draw water from ground. Ground water sample
collected from Hand Pump and was analyzed.
The ground water quality in the study area is quite good and is suitable for drinking purpose
without any treatment (Table 5-48). The water quality fully conforms to the standards laid
down WHO and BIS for drinking purpose.

Soil
Soil is the sustainer of life in our environment. Soil, which is the upper crust of earth, is of
significance as all the vegetation, including crops subset on it. The Study area has very light
soils (sandy and loamy sand-beggar) and the light soils (relatively sandy loam). Soil
contamination data are not available for this district.
1)
Sikar
The district of Sikar is characterized with the soils, which belong to two moisture regimes, i.e.,
Ustic (6.7%) and Aridic (1.4%). Dominant soils of Ustic zone are deep, excessively drained,
sandy and alkaline are classified as Typic Ustipsamments and associated soils as Typic
Ustochrepts. Soils of Aridic zone are sandy and alkaline and classified as Typic
Torripsamments and associated soils and Typic Camborthids.
2)
Jaipur
The area is entirely covered by alluvial deposits, which consist of clay and sand with Kankar.
Locally beds of gravel and cemented sands are occasionally present with the unconsolidated
sands. The soils are alkaline in nature. The soils are deficient in nitrogen and organic matter.
Within the alluvial tract occur the saline and alkaline soils. Soil data are not available for this
district.
(4)
Solid Waste
Solid waste can be classified into different types depending on their source:
a)
Domestic or Household waste is generally classified as municipal waste,
b)
Industrial waste as hazardous waste, and
c)
Biomedical waste or hospital waste as infectious waste.
Page 5-56
ESIMMS Report
October 2007
Waste management in Rajasthan responses have not kept pace with the increasing quantities
of municipal solid waste, industrial hazardous wastes and bio-medical waste, which results in
2 waste problems listed below:
a)
High proportion of uncollected waste; and
b)
Poor standards of transportation, storage, treatment and disposal, that lead to land and
groundwater pollution.
The district generates significant quantity of solid waste from the urban areas and various
agriculture related industries like the rice mills, cold storage, etc.
(5)
Noise
Secondary data on noise is not available; however, the general observation shows that noise is
higher in the urban areas (town) whereas outside city it is low. The analysis of monitoring
conducted along the railway line at sensitive receptors shows that noise is higher during day
hours. The ambient Noise Standards are given in Table 5-52.

Potential Environmental Impact Evaluation and Mitigation Measures (Pollution)

Environmental Impact Assessment involves prediction of potential impacts by the
development of the project on the surrounding area. Based on baseline environmental status
described and proposed project activities potential impacts have been assessed and predicted
and appropriate mitigation measures are suggested to avoid/reduce/compensate the potential
adverse impacts and enhance the positive impacts. The impacts due to development of the
proposed DFC are assessed as shown below:
1) Pre Construction Phase;
2) Construction Phase; and
3) Operation Phase
Page 5-57
ESIMMS Report
October 2007
Within the framework of DFC Project study, a simple method that determines potential
existence of impact has been employed. Matrix system is considered as a tool for organizing
and presenting information on the environmental impacts caused to the natural and social
environment by the DFC Project. Following parameter and scale is used for producing matrix
impacts.

The Environmental Impact Matrix is given in Table 5-54.

(1)
Impact on Air Quality

1)
Construction Phase
During Construction phase, the air quality is likely to be affected due to generation of dust
from construction activities and gaseous emission from construction vehicle. However, the
impact will be localized, short-termed and reversible.
Mitigation Measures
-
Adequate dust suppression measures such as regular water sprinkling on construction

sites, haul and unpaved roads particularly near habitation will be undertaken to control
fugitive dust
Plantation activity may be undertaken at the construction sites
Workers may be provided with mask to prevent breathing problems
Trucks carrying soil, sand and stone may be duly covered to avoid spilling.
Low emission construction equipment, vehicles and generator sets may be used
Air quality monitoring may be conducted at construction sites.
Impact on air quality is likely to be temporary and reversible.
2)
Operation Phase
During operation phase, the impacts on air quality are shown below:
-
The air quality of the area is likely to be improved. Currently the cargo is transported by
railway and road. It is estimated 1 liter of fuel can move 24 ton-km of freight by road,
85 ton- km by rail. Therefore, once the DFC is active in the area the consumption of
fuel is likely to decrease which may subsequently decrease emission in the area.
Plantation along the DFC is likely to improve the air quality of the area.
Mitigation Measures
-
Air Quality should be monitored during operation phase complying CPCB guidelines.
Page 5-58
ESIMMS Report

October 2007
Impact on Water Quality

1)
Construction Phase
There would not be any significant impact on the surface water quality due to the
activities during construction phase. However, there will be some impact on the ground
water quality as the water table in this area is high and in some low lying areas water
logging problem is also prevalent.
The activities which are likely to impact water quality are surface run-off from
construction sites, spillage & leakage from construction equipments and sewage
generated from construction camps. These activities may result in short-term mild
reversible impact on water quality.
The water quality of the irrigational canals crossing the DFC is also likely to be
affected; however, this will be temporary and for short duration.
The impact on water quality will be localized and reversible, suspended particulate
matter tends to settle down in due course of time.
Mitigation Measures
-
Silt fencing may be provided near water bodies to avoid spillage of construction
material.
Discharge of waste from construction/labour camp into water bodies may be strictly
prohibited.
Construction methodologies with minimum or no impact on water quality may be

adopted, disposal of construction wastes at designated sites and adequate drainage
system may be provided.
Project design may take care of irrigational canal and proper culverts may be provided
so that irrigation setup is not disturbed.
Construction activity may be prohibited during rainy season near water bodies.
Water quality monitoring may be conducted during construction phase.
2)
-
(3)
Operation Phase
During operation phase no impact is envisaged on water bodies, as adequate design
provision will be made for proper discharge of wastewater.
Impact on Soil
1)
Construction Phase
During construction phase soil contamination is likely to take place due to leakage of
asphalt emulsifier at pavement of road.
Soil contamination may also take place during filling of oil in vehicles or leakage from
vehicles.
Mitigation Measures
-
Asphalt emulsifier must be handled with caution and any leakage detected must be
immediately rectified.
Construction work should not be done during rainy season to avoid erosion and
spreading of loose material.
Topsoil removed during excavation work should be stored separately in the bunded area
Page 5-59
ESIMMS Report
October 2007
and should be utilized during plantation or refilling of excavated area.

2)
(4)
Operation Phase
During operation phase no impact is envisaged on soil.
Solid Waste
1)
Construction Phase
Solid waste is likely to be generated due to extraction of building materials, earth

moving, and operation of construction plant and construction of railway related
structures.
Construction camp is also likely to generate solid waste and pollute the area.
Mitigation Measures
-
Construction work must be carried in such a way that minimum or no solid waste is
generated at construction site. Extra earth material produced may be utilized for refilling
of borrow areas.
Rainy season may be avoided to minimize spreading of loose materials.
Solid waste management may be framed for camp areas. Dustbins may be provided in
the camps.
The Contractor must provide proper sanitation facilities in camps.
2)
-
Operation Phase
Solid waste may be generated during operation phase due to the operation of freight
train and related facilities.
Mitigation Measures
-
Solid waste management program must be framed for operation phase. Excess of
material generated must be disposed in eco-friendly manner.
Biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste must be collected separately.
Regular cleaning must be conducted at ICD and at Stations.
(5)
Noise and Vibration

1)
Construction Phase
Noise is likely to be generated due to various construction activities such as movement

of construction vehicles, machineries and equipments, extraction of building materials,
earth moving, and construction works of railway and related structures.
The noise level is likely to rise; however, such exposure shall not occur for long period,
the noise shall be intermittent, temporary and limited to construction site only.
Mitigation Measures
-
Modern technologies producing low noise may be used during construction.
Construction equipments and vehicles must be in good working condition, properly

lubricated and maintained to keep noise within permissible limit.
Near Settlements and in Fisher Forest construction activity may be conducted only in
day time and noise producing activity may be prohibited during night hours.
Page 5-60
ESIMMS Report
October 2007
Temporary noise barriers installed at settlements and forest area, if required.
Plantation may be carried at the work site.
Head phones, ear plugs to be provided to the workers at construction site.
Noise level monitoring must conducted during construction phase.
The construction methods with lower vibration generation shall be applied.
Machines and vehicles equipped with lower vibration devices such as vibrationproofing cover shall be used.
Vibration propagation shall be prevented by keeping the distance and changing the
direction and location of machines.
Near settlement and forest areas, construction activities shall be conducted only during
daytime, and vibration generating activities shall be prohibited during night time.
Vibration level monitoring shall be conducted during the construction phase.
2)
-
Operation Phase
During operation phase noise and vibration are likely to occur due to due to movement
of trains and related facilities such as loading and unloading.
Mitigation Measures
-
Plantation must be maintained along DFC corridor.
New technologies shall be incorporated to lower vibration generation with respect to

structures and rolling stocks.
Use of long welded rails without fishplate joint is suggested for reduction in vibration.
Crushed stones shall be used for ballast materials, and accumulation of crushed ballast
by passing trains is to be removed through frequent ballast cleaning.
For a railway bridge girder, steel may be replaced with concrete materials such as PC
and RC to minimise oscillation of the bridge girder which generates vibration in
addition to noise.
If necessary, building the vibration-proof trench and underground wall may be built to
prevent the vibration propagation.
Provide appropriate maintenance of locomotives, tracks and structures.
Running speed of freight trains in the urban area and the railway station shall be
controlled, if required.
Fences and structures to shelter and absorb vibration in addition to noise are duly
provided to the sections where houses and Sensitive Receptors are located near railway
tracks, if required.
Monitoring of railway noise and vibration generated from dedicated freight trains shall
be conducted.

Background and Purpose
October 2007
One of the major environmental concerns arises out of the railway operation is the noise and
vibration. While vibration may lead to damage of cultural assets and other establishments near
railway track, noise has impacts on the human health. The country has definite statutory
specifications, rules and regulations regarding noise level at different regions, as has been
discussed already in the previous section.
The noise and vibration survey has therefore been incorporated in the scope of study as a very
important requirement to study the feasibility of a dedicated freight corridor (DFC)
construction.
5.6.2
Approach and Methodology of Railway Noise and Vibration Measurement
(1)
Selection of Sensitive Receptors:

As per the agreed methodologies, for noise and vibration survey a primary field visit was
conducted to identify the locations of sensitive receptors. The identification was done
following the standard norms and guidance of JICA Study Team. Total 25 points for ambient
noise and vibration survey and 5 points of detailed railway noise and vibration survey were
chosen, along with a few other optional points where the measurement could be done if any of
the scheduled point is missed. A few of the points selected for ambient noise and vibration
measurement have also been chosen for measuring the noise and vibration level at the time of
when a train either passenger or freight is passing by the existing railway track. Hence, the
noise and vibration survey was conducted in three categories: 1) railway noise and vibration
survey along the railways, 2) ambient noise and vibration survey at sensitive receptors, and 3)
railway noise and vibration survey at sensitive receptors.
Along with the noise and vibration measurement and collection of secondary information on
the sampling locations, a questionnaire survey was also done at all the points of noise and
vibration survey at sensitive receptors to assess the peoples perception regarding existing
problem of railway noise and vibration at their neighborhood. For each measurement point,
the total 10 persons were interviewed on the aspect.
(2)
Railway Noise and Vibration Measurement along Railways

The integrated noise and vibration level meters were put in a horizontal series at 12.5 m, 25 m,
50 m and 100m distances from the central line of the existing railway track. The readings
were taken simultaneously at all the four points, for a period as long as that at least eight trains
including both passenger and freight passed by in the same direction.
There have been total 5 numbers of railway noise and vibration measurement sites chosen
along the whole railway track covered in Rajasthan and Haryana. Among those, two have
been done near bridges and rests at the areas of plain running rail track on embankment. The
steps followed in the railway noise and vibration measurement along railways are as follows.
-
The baseline data in respect of railway noise and vibration features and patterns viz.
track characteristics, attenuation patterns with distance, train speed etc. have been
collected. The train categorizations are followed as Table 5-55.
The noise and vibration level for the time interval of each train passing, were noted.
Sound exposure level or LAE and LAeq (equivalent continuous A-weighted sound
pressure level) of passing trains by train categories were noted in accordance JIS Z 8731
Page 5-65
ESIMMS Report
October 2007
(Acoustics-Description and Measurement of Environmental Noise).

-
The vibration levels of peak level of passing trains were also been measured.
The vibration measurements were also been done simultaneously using JIS Z 8735
(Methods of measurement of vibration level).
The scheme of measurement is given in Figure 5-1.

Noise and Vibration Measurement at Sensitive Receptors

1)
Ambient Noise and Vibration Measurement at Sensitive Receptors
Sensitive receptors are identified as educational institutes, hospitals and health centers, courts
and religious establishments. Ambient noise and vibration were surveyed at or in near
proximity of different identified sensitive receptors located the track or along the proposed
diversions in DFC. The readings were taken continuously for 4 hours.
2)
Railway Noise and Vibration Survey at Sensitive Receptors
The noise and vibration survey conducted at the sensitive receptor points at the time of any
train passing by the track is considered as railway noise and vibration survey at sensitive
receptors. In case of railway noise and vibration measurement at SRs, almost the same
procedure of ambient noise and vibration measurement at SRs is followed. The measurements
were conducted for all the trains passing including crossing trains passing both directions for a
time interval of 2 hours. Among the total 25 ambient noise and vibration measurement points
along whole of the DFC alignment, railway noise and vibration measurement study was done
in 10 points.
Stepwise general methodology of noise and vibration measurement near sensitive receptors is
as follows:
-
The measurement is done at a point near to the sensitive receptors for the stipulated time
span of 4 or 2 hrs.
The measurement was done in accordance with standardized methods prevailing in

India or JIS Z 8731 (Acoustics-Description and Measurement of Environmental Noise).
The vibration measurements were also been done simultaneously using the standardized
methods prevailing in India or JIS Z 8735 (Methods of measurement of vibration level).
The detailed site conditions, such as land use, urban/rural condition, structures and
facilities prevailing around the sampling sites, etc.
Four photographs of each of the point have been taken to show the area profile of the
point.
Both day time and night time measurements were done in different locations.
3)
Questionnaire Survey Methodology and Result
Parallel to the noise and vibration measurement, a questionnaire survey was also run among
the local people residing around the Sensitive receptor points. They were asked to answer a
few queries related to their perceptions over the disturbances and annoyance caused by
railway noise and vibration due to existing railway track.
10 respondents were chosen randomly from each of the sampling sites and interviewed only
after making them understand the purpose of the survey.
5.6.3
Results of Railway Noise and Vibration Measurement

As per the agreed terms, results of noise and vibration survey will be put in a district wise
pattern. The detailed results and survey questionnaire will be tabulated, analyzed and
presented accordingly. The detailed results of noise and vibration survey are shown in Annex5.1.

Noise and Vibration Status:
The detailed railway noise and vibration survey shows that during train operation along the
railway track the noise and vibration levels always exceed the desirable regime and/or
statutory regulations. However, a trend of attenuation of the noise and vibration levels with
distance from the track was clearly observable. Also, the noise and vibration conditions and its
variations were found dependant on the type and speed of the train, during passage of which
the study was conducted. A few significant findings regarding those trends are as follows:
-
The attenuation of noise with distance from the railway track did not show any particular
difference in its pattern for passenger and freight train. Hence, no significant impact of
train type and speed on the noise level was recorded, especially up to a distance of 25 m.
However, at a distance of 50 m the noise attenuation seemed better for the freight trains
compared to the passenger trains having higher speed as shown in Figure 5-2, Figure 5-3,
and Figure 5-4.

the overall findings of the study at Sikar District suggests that at a near vicinity although
both the passenger and freight trains create similar level of noise and vibration problems,
the impact proceeds longer distances for passenger trains. The noise and vibration level
attenuates significantly better with the distance, compared to the passenger trains.
Existing Situation of Noise and Vibration at Sensitive Receptors alongside the Railway
Line
The primary site visits chosen 4 sampling points in the Sikar District, among which at all
point were selected both for ambient and railway noise and vibration measurements. The Four
points are situated in the Hindu temple adjacent to Nim ka Thane RS, Temple near railway
crossing, Shri Madhopur, School near railway crossing Ringas RS and Hospital near railway
crossing, Ringas RS. The results of the survey are presented in following sections.
a)
Ambient and Railway Noise and Vibration Study at SRs
4 concerned points for ambient and railway noise and vibration measurement were chosen as
the Hindu temple adjacent to Nim ka Thane RS, Temple near railway crossing, Shri
Madhopur , School near railway crossing Ringas RS and Hospital near railway crossing,
Ringas RS. As the proposed DFC will be established along the detour alignment and both the
points are situated on the existing railway track, the points are considered to be of E category,
which are situated on the existing track but not on the DFC. The details of sampling sites
along with the photographs are given in Table 5-58.

Noise
Noise is an important factor for any railway track to be established. The present noise level of
the district has been found to be marginal in respect to the statutory regulations set by the
central pollution control board under the provision of Noise pollution (Regulation and
Control) Rules, 2000, Notified by the Government of India as described in Table 5-59.

Note: * dB LAeq denotes the time weighted average of the level of sound in decibels on scale A which is relatable to human
hearing.
The ambient noise levels at all the recording stations in the district have been found
marginally exceeding the limit of residential and commercial zones. However, the noise level
at SR site, Sikar RS. The SR site, Sikar is nearby the station having moderate traffic.
The railway noise level, i.e. at the time of passing of any train did not vary with that of the
ambient noise. It is unlikely to happen in a point located only 50 m away of the existing rail
track. But, it seems that boundary walls and railway constructions around the sampling point
have some damning effects on the noise level and its propagation. It is therefore imperative
that civil structures, if constructed properly may appear as a mitigation option for noise
pollution at the sensitive receptors.
5)
Vibration
The ambient and railway vibrations were found within desirable level for both the sampling
stations at Sikar. Even, the vibration increased only 10% during railway operation (Table 5-60
and Table 5-61). This also is indicative of the damning impact of civil structures around.

Examination of Prediction Method

Railway Noise
As mentioned above, in Japan regarding railway noise generated by conventional trains (local
trains, express trains and limited express trains), main causes include (1) traction movements,
(2) structures and (3) machines equipped to the train. Among them, the traction movement
contributes to the generation of noise greatly.
In Japan, several types of prediction equations were proposed for various types of railway
track structures, such as the elevation, embankment and cutting. Some equations were
examined including the equation proposed by Railway Technical Research Institute of Japan
in 1996. As a result, the equation with applicable parameters was selected by considering
differences in tracks, trains, structures between India and Japan. Therefore, prediction was
carried out applying the actual data of railway noise level (LAE), running speed (V) of trains,
and the distance from centre of the nearest railway track (D).
Based on the obtained the data of railway noise levels along the railways at 15 sites over 5
states, the empirical equation was extracted by using a simple regression and correlation
analysis of variables of (Log10 (D), Log10 (V) and Log10 (D).
If V is assumed to be constant, D is only one variable, and the empirical equation is shown
below.
LAE1 = A1 + B1 Log10 (D)
LAeq1 = LAE1 + 10 Log10 (N/T)

Prediction Method of Railway Vibration

In Japan, the methodology of railway vibration prediction is not fully established, compared to
that of railway noise. Based on the data on the running speed of trains, track types, structures
and the distance from the centre of the nearest railway track, a few empirical equations were
proposed by Tokyo Metropolitan Government and Osaka Prefecture Government.
Initially the equations developed by these 2 organizations were examined. However, it is also
undesirable to apply directly the equations developed in Japan to predict railway vibration
levels of freight trains in India. One of the reasons would be that the propagation pattern of
vibration changes depending upon conditions of railway tracks, foundations, structures, the
surface of ground (soil types, concrete or asphalt), etc., and these conditions are considered
different from these in Japan.
Therefore, prediction was carried out applying in the similar manner by applying the actual
data of the railway vibration level (LMAX), the running speed (V) of train, and the distance
from centre of the nearest railway track (D).
Based on the actual data obtained through railway vibration measurement at 15 sites along the
existing the railway, the equation was prepared for the prediction of vibration levels:
If V is assumed to be constant, D is only one variable, and the empirical equation is shown
below.
LMAX3 = A3+ B3 Log10 (D)

Prediction and Evaluation of Railway Noise and Vibration due to Dedicated Freight
Trains
1)
Condition of Prediction
Following conditions are assumed:

-
Type of traction: electrified traction (electric locomotive)
Running operation: 140 trains/direction/day with the same time interval (approximately
one train for every five minutes)
Maximum running velocity: 100 km/h
Targeted railway structures:
Majority of the existing railway line structures is the embankment structures with
approximately 2 to 5 m high from the ground level at the site. Therefore, railway tracks
are expected to be located at the same as ground level.
Railway noise and vibration generation level due to planned dedicated freight train:
remains the same as the existing freight train, although DFC plan would have various
factors contributing to reduction in railway noise and vibration.

Overall Findings and Recommendations

Consideration of the Noise and Vibration Measurement at Residences besides SRs
In this study, SRs were selected as noise and vibration measurement sites as the representative
or typical sites by considering various factors of the study such as the purpose, the survey
period, availability of the measurement methodology, noise and vibration standards and
environmental consultants in India. It is suggested that the noise and vibration survey should
be conducted at residences along the railway lines where actual affected people live in the
Detailed Design stage.
(2)
Implementation of Railway Noise and Vibration Mitigation Measures

As this study result shows, at SRs in the urban and city area, the existing ambient noise and
vibration tend to be high due to the traffic, people nearby, their own religious activities, etc.
Moreover, the interview survey results show that not only railway noise but also road traffic
are environmental concerns of the residents. Therefore, the railway noise and vibration
mitigation measures should be adopted gradually in accordance with the rise in environmental
awareness especially for noise and vibration.
Baseline Data Collection of Railway Noise and Vibration and Establishment of Prediction and
Evaluation Methods
1)
Establishment of the Methods of Railway Noise Monitoring
For further detailed noise and vibration monitoring, it is necessary to obtain the baseline data
as well as the established methodologies of railway noise and vibration measurement. Since
there is very limited data on noise and vibration in India, it is considered that extensive
railway noise and vibration survey was conducted in ESCS and ESIMMS for the first time in
India. Although there are railway noise and vibration survey data and methodologies available
in Japan, they are not applicable to India since there are various different conditions such as
the railway and train design and operation.
2)
Establishment of the Methods of Railway Vibration Monitoring
In Japan, the ambient and railway vibration measurement covers only direct impacts to human
beings and vertical movement of vibration. However, in India, the horizontal impacts are
considered because the major concern of vibration is impacts on buildings. Therefore,
vibration measurement in buildings should be also considered for the further study in the
Detailed Design stage.

STAKEHOLDER/PUBLIC CONSULTATION MEETING
PUBLIC CONSULTATION
The public consultation is an important tool of information, dissemination and awareness
creation during the planning stage of the project. It provides valuable inputs regarding
successful implementation of the project besides ensuring public participation and
involvement in the process.
In order to assess feasibility of development of dedicated multimodal high-axle load freight
corridor with computerized control for Delhi-Mumbai, stakeholder/public consultation
meetings were organized in all three phases of the study.
-
Phase I- First Stage (February 2007)

Phase II Second Stage (June-July 2007)
Phase III Third Stage (August-September 2007)
1st and 2nd phase public consultation meetings were conducted in the district to disseminate
information and make affected people aware about the project and seek their suggestions
about proposed DFC respectively. Stakeholders were invited from all the villages, Gram
Panchayats and blocks and towns, which were likely to be affected in the parallel section and
the detour route due to land acquisition in the proposed DFC project. The stakeholders
expressed their views and provided valuable suggestions in respect to rehabilitation and
resettlement issues and other social-environmental concerns. It was followed by village
feedback meeting organized by field staff in order to know the understanding and opinions of
the villagers about the proposed DFC Project. The village meetings were conducted in each
affected village of the district. Contents of draft NPR -2006 were discussed with Gram
Panchayat and affected persons and their suggestion were taken on R&R issues. In the village
meetings, field staff assisted Gram Panchayat to constitute Village Rehabilitation Committee
(VRC) in each affected village. Record of the village meetings is attached in Annex-6.1.
In the 3rd phase of Public consultation meeting, primary stakeholders including Panchayat
members, members of village rehabilitation committee, directly affected persons and other
stakeholders were present. The Gram Panchayat representatives and VRC members proposed
mitigation measures for social and environment impacts and presented their views and
suggestion in respect to resettlement and rehabilitation measures. Gram Panchayat and VRC
members submitted expressed their concerns in writing.

Summary of Stakeholder/Public Consultation Meeting

Agriculture is the main occupation of the people. Therefore implementation of the project
would mainly affect livelihood of the people. The economic condition of the people is not very
sound. The majority of the participants annual income is income less than Rs.2,500. The
respondents have moderate family size, i.e. 6 members per family.
The participants places are connected with broad gauge and they are likely to be affected by
the project. In the meeting it was find out that majority of respondents were well aware about
the environmental condition of the area. Most of them opined the proposed project should not
disturb present socio-economic conditions and environmental conditions.
Through active participations of the stakeholders, key issues relating to social and
environmental impacts, compensation, resettlement and rehabilitation were identified and
discussed during the public consultation meetings. Following suggestions were common
which were given by the participants in all the districts.
-
The compensation for land acquisition on the basis of market price of land
Compensation in qualitative and quantitative terms i.e. agriculture land of appropriate

productive capacity in lieu of similar land acquired including appropriate irrigation facilities,
similar dispensation for residential and commercial structures.
Provision of housing units for resettlement including facilities for education, health,
electricity and drinking water
Provision of employment in project construction works to Project Affected Persons (PAPs)
Provision of jobs in Indian Railways besides compensation to families whose land, house,
shops, etc. are to be taken.
Provision of skill training to create employability among the displaced/non-employable

wards of land oustees /displaced persons/families
Issues relating to environment protection and pollution control
Besides above suggestions some suggestions were district specific as mentioned below:
Sikar
-
The existing track should be shifted as there is about 30m land spare with the railways in the
western side along with the existing track the BG (under construction) can also be laid in the
western side which in turn would leave ample space for the DFC corridor to be laid.
Anyways the eastern side of the track is heavily congested and if not avoided the impact
would be severe
In JALPANI an Inland Container Depot (ICD) is demanded.
Jaipur
-
In Naraina, the proposed alignment is curved which should be changed to straight to avoid
affected families due to the curved track.
Nagaur
-
A ROB should be made at the crossing at Minda Phatak.
Pali
-
A ROB should be proposed near Sojat Road railway Station.

Sirohi
-
In Pindwara near Ajjari Phatak, there is a locality whose service road is falling in the ROW
of the project. What are the authorities planning to do, as the entire locality would suffer
without a connecting road?
A Detour should be made from Mawal to Kewarli to avoid Abu Road built-up area

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
INTRODUCTION
Environmental Management Plan is an implementation plan to mitigate and offset the
potential adverse environmental impacts of the project and enhance the positive impacts.
Based on the environmental baseline conditions, planned project activities and impacts
assessed earlier, this section enumerates the set of measures to be adopted to minimize the
adverse impacts. Process of implementing mitigation and compensatory measures, execution,
agencies responsible for their implementation and indicative costs is discussed in this chapter.
The project has overall positive impacts by providing a competitive, cost-effective, congestion
free reliable mode of dedicated freight service. It will certainly reduce the congestion on the
roads and facilitate fast transfer of goods. Railway being an eco-friendly mode will also
enhance or at least will not degrade the environmental quality.
The development of DFC entails civil work including excavation, filling, construction ofRUB/ROB, bridge and cross drainage structures, utility shifting etc which are likely to cause
adverse impacts on natural and social environment. The impacts cannot be fully avoided;
however, appropriate mitigation measures are suggested to minimize and compensate the
potential adverse impacts and enhance positive impacts. Most of the impacts are temporary in
nature and are limited to construction phase only which can be minimized and managed by
proper planning and execution. The environmental management plans includes activities for
pre-construction phase, construction phase and operation phase.
7.2
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PROCESS

Environmental management is based on the potential impacts assessed for the project.
Assessment of potential impacts is based on the review of secondary data substantiated by site
visit environmental monitoring, public consultation, household survey and discussion with
concerned Govt. Dept. The implementation of Environmental Management Plan (EMP)
requires the following:
-
7.3
An organizational structure
Assign responsibilities
Define timing of implementation
Define monitoring responsibilities
EMP DURING CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION

The project activities will be executed in phased manner, Pre-construction Phase, Construction
Phase and Operation phase. The major activities to be undertaken are described below.
7.3.1
Construction Phase
The environmental issues during construction stage generally involve equity, safety and public
health issue. The Contractor is required to comply with the laws with respect to environment
protection, pollution prevention, forest conservation, resettlement and safety and any other
applicable law. Environmental pollution during the construction phase will be less but control
of pollution during this phase is of considerable importance. The EMP is an executable part of
Project, and the activities are to be guided, controlled, monitored and managed as per the
provision provided. Following activities require attention during construction phase.

Land Acquisition/Diversion Plan

Acquisition of land is indispensable for construction of DFC. The proposed alignment
traverses through Forest, Settlement and Agricultural Areas. The details of forest area in each
district are mentioned below.
Alwar- No forest area is affected through this project.
Sikar - No forest area is affected through this project.
Jaipur - There is no forest land and extensive agricultural land are likely to be acquired for the
project.
Nagaur - No forest area is affected through this project.
Ajmer - Approximately 6.5 ha of forest land and extensive agricultural land are likely to be
acquired for the project.
Pali- Approximately 8.1 ha of forest land and extensive agricultural land are likely to be
Sirohi - Approximately 12.9 ha of forest land and extensive agricultural land are likely to be
-
At the outset as a part of the Land Acquisition Plan, the Right of Way (ROW) along the
entire DFC alignment has to be established and confirmed from the State Forest, Agriculture
and Land Revenue Departments.
Diversion of Forest land will be carried in compliance to Forest Conservation Act, 1980.
The acquisition of land and private property shall be carried out in accordance to the
Resettlement Action Plan (RAP).
The list of the PAP along with compensation will be finalized and published in the local
newspaper or any other publications. One months notice will be served for appealing
against the compensation (in kind or cash) to the local Land Revenue Department. If no
objection is raised by the PAPs then the compensation amount as per the Land Acquisition
Act 1894 (as modified in 1st September 1985 and 2003) may be paid within a period of 2
years from the date of the publication of the declaration.
It has to be ensured that all R&R activities including the payment of the compensation may be
reasonably completed before construction activities starts, on any section of the DFC. No
construction work will start before total compensation is paid to the PAPs.
(2)
Utility Shifting Plan

There are some utility services along the proposed DFC alignment such as electric lines,
telephone lines, cable line, pipelines etc which may be shifted in consultation with the
concerned department before commencement of construction activity. There are road crossing
with the DFC. Construction of bridges will be required to maintain their utility. These
structures will be shifted in consultation with the concerned Departments.
(3)
Construction/Labour Camp Management

-
During construction phase Construction/Labour Camp will be located along the project area.
Large numbers of labour population is likely to cause influx in the project area. A proper
Construction Camp Development Plan has to be formulated to control degradation of the
surrounding landscape due to the location of the proposed construction camp. The contractor
Page 7-2
ESIMMS Report
October 2007
must provide, erect and maintain necessary living condition and ancillary facilities that must
be included in contract document provided to the Contractor.
-
Sufficient supply of potable water may be provided at camps and working sites. If the
drinking water is obtained from the intermittent public water supply then storage tanks must
be provided. All water supply storage may be at least 15m away from the toilets or drains.
Adequate washing and bathing facility must be provided in clean and drained condition.
Adequate sanitary facilities may be provided within every camp. The place must be cleaned
daily and kept in strict sanitary condition. Separate latrine must be provided for women.
Adequate supply of water must be provided.
Collection of domestic waste and its suitable disposal may be carried out on timely basis.
The contractor must ensure that there is proper drainage system to avoid creation of stagnant
water bodies.
Periodic health check ups may be conducted. These activities may be provided by the
construction contractor in consultation with State Public Health Department.
At every Camp first aid facility may be provided Suitable transport must be provided to take
injured or ill person to the nearest hospital.
Adequate supply of fuel in the form of kerosene or LPG may be provided to construction
labours to avoid felling of trees for cooking and other household activities. No open fires
may be allowed in camps.
The sites should be secured by fencing and proper lighting
The construction contractor may ensure that all construction equipments and vehicle
machinery is stored at a separate place/yard. Fuel storage and refilling areas may be located
500 m away from the water bodies and from other cross drainage structures.
All the construction workers should be provided with proper training to handle potential
occupational hazards and on safety and health, which include the following:
Environmental Awareness program

Medical surveillance
Engineering controls, work practices and protective equipment
Handling of raw and processed material
Emergency response
Construction/labour camps may be located away from forest areas, settlements, cultural
heritage & historical sites and water bodies & dry river beds.
It should be ensured by the construction contractor that area of the construction camp be
cleared of the debris and other wastes deposited on completion of construction. The land
should be restored back to its original form and condition as it was prior to the establishment
of the construction camps.
(4)
Borrow Area Management Plan

An appropriate Borrow Area Management Plan is formulated to control degradation of the
surrounding landscape due to the excavation work. The national standard which applies to the
manual borrowing of earth is the IRC-10: 1961.
-
Borrowing of earth shall be carried out up to depth of 150 cm from existing ground level and
shall not be done continuously. Slopes of edges shall be maintained not steeper than 1:4.
Top soil (15 cm) from all areas shall be preserved in stockpiles and utilized for
redevelopment of borrow/quarry areas.
Borrow pit shall be developed as far as possible from the river side, where the inner edge of
Page 7-3
ESIMMS Report
October 2007
any borrow pit should be not less than 15 m away from the toe bank. As far as the borrow
pits on the rear or landside are considered, it is to be avoided. Where it is unavoidable a
berm, at least 25 m wide should be left between borrow pits and toe bank. The toe of the
bank on the rear side should have a cover of 0.75 m to 1.25 m over the saturation line drawn
at a slope of 1:6 from the high flood level on the river side.
-
Borrowing of earth shall not be carried out on productive land in the event of such an
occasion; contractor has to obtain permission of the engineer who is supervising the activity.
Sources of borrow areas will be identified by the Construction Contractors
No borrow areas will be opened without the prior permission from the local administrative
bodies like Village Panchayats, State Department of Irrigation, Agriculture and State
Pollution Control Boards etc.
Reclamation of borrow area will be mandatory and must be included in the agreement made
with the Construction Contractor
Borrow pits may be located at least 1 km away from the villages and settlements.
All borrow pits may be reclaimed.
(5)
The quarry and borrow area will be reclaimed back. The pits formed should be
backfilled by construction waste and site should be stabilized.
Spoils may be dumped with an overlay of stocked piled top soil with respect to

ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS AND TRAINING

For implementation of EMP awareness on environmental issues is indispensable. It is essential
that senior officials should grasp completely the features of environmental management;
Page 9-3
ESIMMS Report
October 2007
immediate short term training will be required for Railway Dept. staff on environmental
awareness.
For management of environment it is required to develop ability to communicate and work
with community and understanding the socio-political dynamics prevalent in the region.
Following the setting up of the Environmental Management Unit, the need for additional and
specialized training should be examined and appropriate training should be undertaken.
During construction phase training/awareness program should be organized by the EMU for
Project Implementation Unit (PIU) Staff and the Contractor twice a year. During operational
phase one workshop/awareness program should be organized at district level each year for the
first3years.The training modules suggested are given in Table 9-3.

MONITORING AND EVALUATION OF R&R PLAN

Monitoring and evaluation are critical activities toward the finalization of the process of
resettlement and rehabilitation. Monitoring involves periodic checking to ascertain whether
the resettlement and rehabilitation activities are in progress in helping PAFs taking roots into
the new resettlement areas. Evaluation is essentially a summing up of the progress of
resettlement and rehabilitation at the end of the Project assessing the actual achievement in
comparison to those aimed at during the implementation period.
DFCCIL will be responsible for internal monitoring through their Project Implementation Unit,
Chief Resettlement Office, and NGOs. It should prepare quarterly reports on the progress of
the implementation of resettlement and rehabilitation plan.
Independent monitoring agency or a local consulting firm or a local NGO will carry out an
external monitoring of the implementation of resettlement and rehabilitation plan. It will
report on a half yearly basis to DFCCIL and funding agency. DFCCIL should select and hire
these consulting firm/ NGO.

Jaipur
Biological Environment
There are Reserved, Protected and Unclassed forests in Jaipur Forest Division. It covers the entire area
of civil district of Jaipur, four tehsils namely Bamanvas, Nadoti, Tedabhim and Mahuwa of
Sawaimadhopur district and some parts of Alwar and Sikar districts.
The tract lies in the Eastern part of Rajasthan between 75 o 45 E to 77 o 05 E longitude and 77o 15 N
to 28 o 30 N latitudes. The approximates stretches of the area from North to South and East to West
are 160 kms and 200 kms respectively.
The Jaipur Forest Division is bounded in the North by common border with haryana, in North East
by Alwar district, in the East by Sawai-madhopur district, in the south by Tonl and sawaimadhopur in
the west by Ajmer and in the North West by Nagpur and Sikar districts.
The total land area of the Division is 16,440 sq. kms. Out of which 1,424 sq. kms area is under the
possession of Forest Department. Thus, area under the forest is namely 8.66% of the total land area. It
is furthermore alarming that only about 20% being blank, depleted, barren hills, and degraded forester.
The Head quarters of the Divisions are located at Jaipur, the pinkcity of India and capital of Rajasthan.
It falls under the administrative central of the conservator of Forests, Soil conservation, Jaipur. Other
superior officials namely, Additional chief conservator of Forest, are head quartered at van-Bhavan,
Jaipur. The office of the Divisional Forest officer is situated at Museum Road, Jaipur.
The Head quarters being State Capital, is easily approachable by Road, Rail and Air. The tract is
intersected by three National Highways namely N.H.8, N.H.11 & N.H.12 (recently declared
connecting Jaipur-Jabalpur) together with extensive network of State highways and their feeder roads.
It is an important Junction and Divisional Head quarters of the Western Railways. With a view to
develop its vast tourism potential, two famous trains namely Punk-city Express and Palace on wheels
start from here.
Apart from these two trains, there are a number of other trains running through this tract. The
aeredrame is located at Sanganer about 13 km. From Jaipur city, A regular air service is available for
Delhi, Agra, Udaipur, Bombay, Jodhpur, Kota, Ahmedabad. A proposal for making it an International
Airport is under active consideration of the Govt. of India.
THE FORESTS
Most of the forest under the major group of TROPICAL FORESTS as per champion and Seths
revised classification of forest types of India. The special soil peculiarities and biotic factors rather
than the climatic ones chiefly control the stability of Plant community in this tract. Therefore, its
composition, distribution and quality is detrmined by these factors. As per champion and Seths the
following groups, subgroups, types and subtypes are recognised in this area:GROUP 5 TROPICAL DRY DECIDOUS FORESTS:
Sub-group 5B- Northern Tropical Dry Decidous Forests.
Type 5B/O2 Northern Dry mixed decidous Forest.
Edaphic climax formations are:5B/E1 Anogeissus pendula forest

This type of forests is generally visible in the blocks of Digota, Jamwamata, badiline, Amer,
Talwa, khajar, Barmanwati, kalakho, Gol, Kalikhar, Ramgarh of this division. But it has been
observed that species like anogeissus pendula, Boswellia serrata, Acacia senegal and Butea
monosperma belonging to this type land to form more or less pure consociations under the
influence of characterized edaphic conditons prevailing in Aravalli hills. However, this type is
confined to valley beds where oil and moisture conditions are realtively better. On per well
drained plateaus and stops Bosweillia serrata trends to replace this type where as at other drier
slopes anogeissus pendula replaces it in order to form a pure consociation.

The overhood of these forests consists of Anogeissus pendula, Anogeissus latifolia,
Abogeissus sericea, Boswellia serrata, Steroulia urens, moringa oleibera, mitragyna parvifolia
ious racimosa, albizzia salvifolium, Grataerea religiosa, Butea monosperma, Holoptelia
integrifolia, acacia catechu, Diospyros melanxylon etc. The underwood consists of Wroghtia
tinctoria, Wrightia tomentosa, Dichrostachys cineria, Flacourtia indica, Diospyros montana,
Cassia fistula, Mallotu phillipinensis, Zizyphus mauritiana, Ehretia laevis, acacia leucophloea,
Holarrhena antidysentrica, Bauhinia racemosa, Euphorbia nivulia, Ficus tomentosa etc. The
undergrowth includes Adhatoda vasica, Grewia tenax, Grewia flavescens, Grewia damine,
Rhus mysurensis, Zizyphus numularia, abrus precatorius etc. The ground cover consists of
cassia tora indigofera, Ageratum conyzoides, Hibiscus labatus, Salvia aegyptiaea, Urginea
indica, Mimosa pudica, Boerhavia diffus, Argimone mexicana, Dasmodoium species,
pedalium murex, Polyonum species etc. The common grasses occuring in the tract are Apluda
mutica, Aristida species, Arthraxon species, Brachiaria species, Cnchrus species, Cynodon
dactylon, Cymbopogon martinii, Dactyloctenium species, Dichantum annulatum, digitaria

species, Eragrostis species, Heteropogon contortus, Imperata sylindrica, Panicum species,
Sporobolus species, etc. Dendrocalamus strictus is however confined to moist deep soil sites
in Moran Dungar, Gol and Digota blocks. It is characteristic of these forests that they emain
foliageless from March to June during whoch time the flowers and fruits are born.
Biological Status
The miscellaneous forets described under last paragraph are climatic climax. Ut most of the
species constituting this type tend to form pure consociations under edaphis conditions
peculiar to Aravalli hills resulting in differenet edaphio climax formations.
Anogeissus pendula forests (Type SB/E1)
This type is characteristically recognised by the almost pure consociation of anogeissus
pendula wherein it gregariously occurs forming more than 80% of the crop. Most of the
forests of Jaipur division are representative of this type. The main associates of Anogeissus
pendula are Boswelia serrata, Lannes coromandelica, Sterculioa urens, Wrightia tinctoria,
Wrightia tomentosa, Flacourtia indica, Butea monosperma, Holoptelia integrifolia, cassia
fistula, Diospyros melanxylon, Alangium salvifolium, Aacia caechu, Acacia leucophloea,
acacia senegal, Ehretia laevis, Albizzia lebbek , Zizyphus mauritiana, Moriagna cononensis,
Crataeva religiosa, anogeissus latifolia, Anogeissus sericia, Mitragyma parvifolia, Ficus
racemosa etc. it may be mentioned here that alangium salvifolium is confined to Lalsot
Range:Anogeissus sericia and Moringa species to Digota block and mallotus phillipinensis,
Mitragyna parvifolia, Ficus racemosa etc. to moist loaclities. The undergrowth is chiefly
comprised of Capparis decidua, Grewia tenax tenax, grewia flavesense, Dichrostatachys
cinerea, Zizyphus nummularia, Ashatoda vasica, Helicoteres isora, Barlaria suspidata,
Dupteracan thus patulus, Rhus mysurensis, Sarcostema acidium, Securfinega leucopyrus,
Abrus precatorius etc. The grasses like Apluda mutica, Aristida species, Cynodon dactylon,
Cymbopogon martinii, Dicanthium annulatium, Digitaria species, Eragrostis species, Panicum
species, and Sporobulus species. Etc. is commonly found in this type of ofrests. Climbers such
as Ichnocarpus frutescens, Marsdenia, Volubilis, Oxystelma seemone, Momordia dioice,
Asparagus racemosus, Glariosa superba, Mucuna pruria etc. are also found growing in these
forests. Dendroptoes falcata is the main parasite growing upon Boswellia serrata.
These forests are infact confined to the sites further from the habitations. They have
undergone excessive estrogessions in the vicinity of habitation, resulting in to the formation of
different type. The height of Anogeissus pendula varies from 3 m to 15 m. the diameter at
breast height varies from 5 cm to 10 cm. But in the felled copus where multiple stem crop is
found in majority, the diameter varies from 3 sm to 8 sm with 3 to 6 stemsper stool as shown
in the photograph taken by author in Digota block and appended herewith. The heights of
main associate species like Boswellia serrata, Lannea coromandelica varies from 10 to 15 m
and 5 to 12 m with diameters (b.h) 15.0 to 30 cms and 8 to 30 cms. Respectively. Most of the
crop is young top middle aged. Mature stands are rarel found.
The desndity of the crop varies from 0.3 to 0.7 Sensity stocked standa are, however, confined
to areas of Digota, Bamanvati & badi Line blocks. The status of regeneration varies from
deficient to good. Most of the regeneration is of coppice origin. Seedling regeneration which
varies from deficient to fair is however, confined to the interior pockets where biotic influence
is minimum.
Ecological Status
Many of the tree species of the mixed decidous forests are capable of forming more or less
pure consociations. This tendency is emphasized in the dry forests by the harsher
environmental conditions, climatic, eadphic and biotic, to whom the forest is usually subjecte,
so that greater demands are made on the specific adaptability of constituent elemnets leading
to pure groups and local dominance. Anogeissus pendula, is thus an edaphis climax because
although it occurs on various grological formations and different types of soil under complete
protection for over 100 years. It has maintained itself and is also regenerating naturally. It is
noteworthy that Acacia catechu, whith yan intimate mixture with Anogeissus pendula in
Digota block is gradually disappearing probably owing to biotic intervention. Resutls of
departmental lumbering in Digota block have revealed that Anogeissus pendula has more
inherent strength than Acacia catechu to wrightstand biotic pressure under similar climatic
edaphic conditions. But repeated exposure of Anogeissus pendula t excessive grazings
browsing and lapping also led to detuermination at many place. A peculiar characteristic of
naogeissus pendula has been observed that it occurs in association with Dendrocalamus
strictus in moist localities with relatively more deep soils especially in Digota, Moran danger
and Gol blocks. It has also been observed that on drier slopes, Acacia senegal forms a
gregarious association with Anogeissus pendula under considerable pressure of grazing. It is
perticularly in the Liwali block where accai senegal has succeeded to form pure patch on hill
top which can be separately categorised as a type of edapho-biotic climaxes peculiar to very
dry fascies similar type is also exhibited in Amer block where gregarious occurrence of
Acacia senegal is restricted to lower flat portions between the hills where it completely
replaces Anogeissus pendula.
This association of Anogeissus pendula Acacia senegal is confined only to the hilly tract
with gravelly reddish loam. On wind blown sand deposits, acacia senegal of tenly forms pure
stands in association with other thorny speaks throughout the division.
These forest stake pride of supporting faunal species which have been dwindled from other
forest types of this division. Panthera pardus, Cervus unicolor, Axis Boselap hus
tragocalamus, Hyaena hyaena, Canis lupus, Caracal, Sus scrofa etc. alongwith may avifaunal
species ae found especially in Ramgarh and Virat nagar ranges. A part of Panthera tigris
accompanied by their two cubs has recently been reported to have come to the Ramgarh area.
It has most probably migrated from the adjoining area of the project Tiger Sariska.
Thus, the existence of these floral and faunal species reveals the ecological viability of this
type of forest, which under further prolonged protection may lead to very rich biosphere
reserve.
Anogeissus pendula scrub (5/E1-DS1)
Having undergone excessive pressure of reckless illicit felling, lopping grazing and browsing
during last three decades, the Anogeissus pendula today stands for biddi long good bye to
nearly 70% if its territory . In its last effort to surviue, Anogessus pendula has reduced its elf
to spreading and creeping form sometimes farming prostrate cushions looking like topiary
work. In the areas where process of degradation has started in the recent past, Anogeissus
pendula occurs in low density with bushy and scruby seedling and coppice regeneration .The
inferior s-pecies like Rhus mysorensis, Grewia spp., Euphorbi spp.alongwith grasses like
Heteropogon contortus. Apluda.mutica Aristide spp. Spcrobolus Spp.,etc start inuading Buch
area . This form is confined to the areaas which are within the read of human habitations.
Ecological status
This form is a result of continuous of process of ecological retrogression of the edaphc climax
5/E1 under cute biotic pressures. As indicated in the preceding paragraph, Anogeissus
pendulis initially illicitly felled for small timber lopped for fodder and fuel wood. There after
, its seedling and coppice regenerations are browsed and trampled by goats and cattle. At this
stage when process of degradation is on, thorny species start inv adding the territory. Of these
the ones worth mentioning are Dichrostachys cinerea. Acacia leucophloea, Ziayphus
nummularia. Acacia senegal etc. Alongwith other inferior species like Rhus mysorensis,
Grewia spp. Securinega spp. Euphorbia nivulia, Barlaria spp. Holoptelia intergrifolia, etc.
Gradually, Anogeissus pendula is reduced to shrubby growth 3 to 6m. High including some
trees species reduced to similar conditions, usually multi stemmed from base with crooked
formations, Euentually, under long continued maltreatment by bictioc factors the Aogeissus
pendula is reduced to spp reading and cresping form of degemerate forest which is the last
stage of its degradation before it is totally eliminated. There after, it gives way to other
4
degradation stage. The form 5/E1-Ds1 under protection gives rise to secondary sere lending to
attain the lost ecological status of the crop.
The Boswellia forest (5/E2)
This type in general is an open forest in which swellia serrata forms an overwood to stunted
trees and shrubs of dry deciduous forests. Sometimes almost pure consociations of well grown
mature trees or pole crops occur sapling and deeding regeneration were found practically
absent. The height varies form 10 m to 20.0 m with diameter from 30.0 cm. to 50.0 cm. Its
was in Digota block that Boswellias serrata trees with better dimensions and formations were
found where as in Badiline, Jamwamata, Bamanwati, Gol & Moran blocks they were short
thick boled, crooked, branchy and dwaft with relativelty more crown diamster. It is
characteristically comfined to the higher steeper slopes and well drained top plateau of these
blocks. Its main associates in Digota block are Anogeissus latifolia, Anogeissus siricia,
Anogeissus pendula, Sterculia urens, Eannea coromandelica, Disopy ros melanoxylon. Acacia
catechu whereas at other places the associataes are Anogeissus pendula, Sterculia urens,
Lannea coromandelica, Albizzia odaratissima, Fiaus spp. etc. The undergrowth in digota block
is of Zizyp hus spp. ,Rhus mysorensis, Grewia Spp. Dendro calamus strictus ( in depressions
of commptt. No .38,13,12,11) etc. The main gresses found occurring in the type are Apluda
mutica, Heteropogon contortus. Chrysopogon fulous, Sehima norvosum etc. It is the
characteristic feature of Boswellia serrate in this area that parasitic plant Dendro-phthoe
falcate thrives on it. It remains leafless during the period from February to June.
Ecological Status
This type become very stable on special sites, extended by maltreatment as Boswellia serrate
is usually left standing when other trees are felled and it is very much fire resistant. It has been
observed that is generally not used either for fodder or fuel by the local people. As an
evidence of it, many patches of Boswellia can be seen growing near human hasitations where
no other spp. occurs. It does not coppice well as per champion and seth. As per mention made
in the preceding paragraph, the seedlings and sapling are practically absent throughout.
Babul Forest (Type 5/E3)
The general appearance of the forest is entirely dominated by one species i.e. Acacia nilotica
varindica which is markedly gregarious in habit and forms a denser cover than usual in thorn
forests. Its main associates are Acacia nilotica var. cupressiformis. Tecomella undulate (on
Goner Road), Prosopis cineraria Acacia leucop-hloea etc. The undergrowth is consisted of
Balanites aegyptica, Maytenus emarginata, Calotropisprocera, Zizyphus spp. etc. This type
occurs on sandy-to-sandy loam soils. No significant area of forests represents this type; it is
mainly the agricultural l-and, which supports it. Farmers provide great protection to this
species as it is used for manufacture of agricultural imp-lament furniture making, top feeding
and fuel. Its bark is used for tanning.
Ecological status
It is authors observation that type is an edapho-biotic climax and occur on a very vast stretch
of agricultural land with soil texture varying from sandy to sandy loam and loam. The
demonstrative area is around Bassi.
Butea Forest (Type 5/E5)
On flat ground this type present a savannah appearance with scattered stunted and very
malformed trees or thickets standing over short grass or bare ground. On lower hill slopes
almost pure cons-ociations are found on screes and gravel derived from basic rocks and
yielding clayey or loamy soils. It is oftenly found in small patches in valley types of forest
through the entire division in Anogeissus pendula type. In Jamuea Mata & Lalsot blocks, it is,
found as a conspicuous associatio in degraded dhok forest (Photograph taken by author in
Jamwa mata block gives clear picture of this type ) esp-ecially on the hill top. In Liwali block
it was found in association with Acaia senegal (Photograph by author attached.).
Ecological status
This is a promouneed edaphic subtype though sometime it occur due to maltreatment in dry
deciduous forests.
Phoenix savannah (Type 5/E8a)
Phoenix sylvestris occurs as pure gregarious riparian fringing vegetation on marrow alluvial
deposits along streams and water logged canals scattered over the entire division. It is
occasionally associated with Suteamonosperma, Salvadora spp. Ficus glomerata and
sometimes Albizziz odoratissima Acacia nilotica etc.
Dry bamboo brakes (Type 5/ E9)
Only one spaecies, Dendrocalamus strictus, occur and forms relatively low (rarely over 7.0 m)
but often-dense brakes. Where grazed, etc. the bamboo grows in dense patches with the grass
and deciduous often shrub between. A scattered overwood of the hardier species of the dry
deciduous forest may indicate. The dominance of the bamboo to be only secondary. This type
is exhibited in the nallahs of Digot and Gol Main forest blocks. It has been observed that this
type is bamishing at a considerable rate owing to excessive biotic pressures and now confined
to very small area.
Dry topical riverain forest (Type 5/1S1)
An irregular overwood of greater height than the climax dry deciduous forest patches and
strips with varying amounts of smaller trees and shrubby under growth. It occurs in very
small areas on light sandy soil in hilly sections of streams e.g. Amer Block L
Desert Thorn Forest (Type 6B/C1)
This type occurs on the low hills, stabilised and reactivated sand dunes. The species forming it
have strong tendency to form almost pure gregarious consociations. Acacia senegal and
Prosopis cineraria are the best examples. Pure stands of Acacia senegal are found in the block
of Liwali, Amer, Lalgarh, Badi line etc, where as almost pure stands of Prosois cineraria are
found in the blocks of Jharana Bir,Muhana Bir, Goner Bir, Govindpura Bir, bagrana Bir &
Bhainslana, Natural regeneration of Prosopis cineraria from root suckers is commonly mot
with through out the area. The main associates of Prosopis cineraria are Acacia leucophloea,
Azadirechta indica, Acacia nilotica etc. with Capparis deciduas, Maylenus
emarginata,Balanites aegyptica, Calotropis procera undergrowth. The associates of Acacia
senegal widely vary in character with the nature of the soil. On hilly tract with soil in situ,
Dichrostachys cineria, utea monosperma, Helooptelia integrifolia and sometimes Anogeissus
pendula are the associates whereas on fluvial and aeolian sand deposits etc. are the associates
with Calotropis procera, Leptadenia pyrotechnica Zizyphus spp. as undergrowth. Cassia tora,
Tephrosla purpuria, Xanthium strumarium and grasses like Dactyloctenium scindium, Apluda
mutica, Cenchrus spp. Aristida spp. Eragrostis spp. Heteropogon contortus etc. form the
ground cover Ravine thorn forest (type 6B/C2):
Ecological status
As per champion and Seth the occurrence of pure consociations of Acacia senegal and
Prosopis cineraria has been recognised as climatic climaxes. But to me they seem to be
edaphic climaxes because Prosopis cineraria is confined only to the old Aeolian and fluvial
send deposits and clayey loam soils whereas Acacia senegal occurs on dry hills, sand dunes &
ravinous tract.
Ravine thorn forest (Type 6B/C2)
This type occurs on the gullied unconsolidate fluvial and acolian sand deposits along foot hills
and nallahs throughout the Morel and Banganga River basins in this division. The growing
stock mainly consists of Acacia senegal, Acacia leucophloea, Prosopis cineraria, Maytenus
emarginata, balanites aegyptica. Dalbergia Sissoo, holoptelia integrifolia, bauhinea
ravcemosa, Acacia nilotica, calygonum polynoides, with Acacia jacquemontil, Laptadenia
6
pyrotechnica, aerva tomentosa, Saccharum benghalensa, Zizyphus spp. Xanthium strumerium,

capparis decidua etc. as undergrowth . the main grasses are cenchrus spp. Dactylocteniumj
scindium, Aristida spp. , Eragrostis spp., Apluda mutica., Hetreopogon contortus, Dicanthium
annulatum, Sporobous morginaus, Sahima nervosum etc. with cassia tora, Tephrosioa
prupuria, adhatoda vasica, Crotolaria burhea, Echniops spp. Etc.as ground cover. The crop is
of very low density and dominant tree species suually do not attain height more than 5-6
metres.
(3)
Eiological status
As per champion and seth, this type has been classified as climatic climax. But due to
excessive biotic interference and severe erosion this is under continuous retrogression. As a
result of this most of the ravines sreas of this division support scarce tree grow and given way
to Saccharum benghalense
Zizyphus scrub (type 6B/DS1)
This type occurs on gravelly soils usually flat ground along foothills which is heavily
organozed and browsed. The occurrence of tree is scanty and very few of thorny species viz.
Acacia leucophloea, Acacia nilotica etc. are found. it can be identified in small patched
throughout the division.
(4)
Ecological status
This type is primarily a result of reckless destruction of thorny trees. The climatic climax type
of thorn forests if thus reduced to degradation stage under heavy biotic pressure. It appears to
have formed biotic climax because because it is browsed, grazed and cut for fodder (locally
called cala) every year and still profusely sprout regularly. It is interred mingled with
Euphorbia scrub on degraded hills.
Tropical Euphorbia Scrub (Type 6B/DS2)
This type occurs on the hills (usually hasitations), which have been under excessive biotic
pressure for a long. It has occurred as a result of continous degradation of anogeissus pendula
foretss. Euphorbia neritifolia occurs gregariously in association with Rhus mysorensis,
Dichrostachys Cineria, Zizyphus spp. And grasses. In Gol block it also occurs on steep to
prescipitations rocky slopes forming almost pure crop with height upto 5 m (Photograph taken
by author is appended).
(5)
Ecological Status
Basically, it owes its present form to excessive grazing and felling of tree growth but edaphic
factors are also possibly involved. It occupies stony sites in general.
(6)
Acacia Senegal forests (Type 6B/E2)
As mentioned under Desert thorn forests (Type 6B/C1) the pure consociations of Acacia
senegal can best be classified under this type. This type is typically an open gregarious
everwood of pure Acacia senegal with Acacia leucophloea, Acacia nilotica, Dichrostachys
cinerea, Holoptelea integrifolia, Prosopis cineraria (on sandy soils) etc. as assoicates. It occurs
on unconsolidated (but stationary) fluvial and aeolian sand deposits end on aravalli hills
containing quaartizite. Detailed description is given under Type 6 B/C1.
Ecological Status
This type is recognized as an edaphic climax as per champion and seth,. It has been further
observed by the author that in Liwali block the pure patch of Acacia Senegal on flattop is
essentially an example of bio-edaphic type.
Salvadora scrub (Type 6/E4)

This type is characteristic of semiarid or arid saline/alkaline soils occuring mainly in the
drainage of Sambhar Lake. Salvadora oleoides, Salvadora persics, tamarix aphylla etc. are the
main species growing in such areas
Desert dune scrub (Type 6E/E4/DS1/IS1)
A very open and irregular formation of status trees and bushes covering only a small
proportion of the soil. The trees are thorny and all vegetation is xerophytic. This type occurs
on the sand dunes in Jaipur, Amer, Lalsot, Virat nagar & ramgarh ranges. It can be easily
viewed from Jaipur- Delhi N.H. on shadow sand dunes formed on the eastern side of amer 3
blocks from Kupes onward. The main species of this type are Prosopis cineraria, Acacia
leucophloea, acacia nilotica, Acacia jacquemont, Zizyphus spp., calotropis procera, Crotolaria
urhia, Serve comentosa, saccharum benghalensa, Leptednia
Ecological Status:
Brief account of ecological succession on sand dunes is given as follows: (As per champion
and seth) Pioneers: On dunes, Calotropis procera, Leptadenia pyrotechnica, Crostolaria burhia,
Indigofera argentea, aerva pseudotomentosa, Citrulus coloctynthis, Earsetia jacquemontiana,
Lasiurus hirsutus, Pancium turgidum, eleusine spp.
On spread out sand: (In order of appearance)
1)
Aerva tomentosa, a pseudo tomentosa.
2)
Leptadenia pyrotechnica, Capparisa decidua, Penicum turrgidum.
3)
Crotalaria burhia
4)
Orotalaria Le ptadenia aerva pseudo tomentosa Panicum association.
5)
Crotalaria (with convovulvaceaea etc.)
Vegeation of stabilised dunes:

1) Foot and lower slopes: aerva crotalaria , then Aerva
2) Upper Slopes: Panicum turgidum , Cenchrus ciliaris. Indigofera argentea etc.
3) Top: Calligonum polygonoides.
Common grasses: Eragros tis tremula , E. ciliaries cenchrus epp.
But is addition to this , it has been observed by the accthor that Acacia jacquemontii, A.
senegal , prosopis cineraria and Saccharum benghalense etc. inhabit the stabilised sand dunes
in this division.
Blanks and other debleted areas:
These are highly degraded stages of the different types of forests of this division. They are tree
less in genera. Genral, but if at all support any tree growth, its density is always below O 2.
The flat hill tops and gentle slopes which suppoe\rt grasses in abundance resemble to the
champion and seths type Dry grass lands (5DS4) . in such area, the dominant grass cover is
Sehima- Dicanthium type with Schima nervosum , Chrysoposgon fulvus, Themeda triandra,
Ermopogon fovelatus, Heteropogon contortus, Cymbopogon Spp. Dicanthium annulatum,
Bothriochloa pertusa, Cynodon dactylon etc. which occur in the immediate neighbourhood of
human habitations. Through suchj type occurs all over the division, but Moran, Dungar, liwali
and Gol blocks are the typical examples of it where process of degradation is rapidly on by
presence of graziers Guadas (Photograph taken by author in Gol block exhibits real position).
Besides grassy blanks, there are unproductive blanks, which are devoid of soil cover exg.
Heavily guarried area, exposed bare rocks and boundary areas. Owing to long continued
hacking of trees and grazing such areas do not support any vegetation.
In order to fascilitate managemen t the forests of this division may be broadly classified into

Sambhar Lake
This is situated 65 km west of Jaipur at an altitude of 379 m. Above M.S.L. lying between 74
14 E longitudes and 26o 53 N to 27 1 N latitudes. It is an area of inland drainage protected
by Aravalli hills against aeolian desert sand deposit. It is also a great source of salt
manufacture in Rajasthan.
The plain which is composed of older alluvium, younger alluvium and aeolians is fertile in
general. About 60% of the entire area is ploughed every year out of which 70% of the
cultivated area is used for growing rainfed crops. The rest 40% uncultivated area is under
forests and miscellaneous uses like pastures, abadi etc. There are active and semiestablised
sand dunes especially in the Northwestern part of the Division. The hills of high land
considerably restrict the movement of the sand.
But at places where hills are low and devoid of vegetal cover with wide gaps between them,
the sand is carried over by the high velocity westerly winds and deposited towards East and
Southeastern side rendering the fertile land unproductive. Sand hills on the Eastern side of the
Amer Forest block which are conspicuously visible from N.H.8 are shadow sand dunes
formed as a result of interaction between the high velocity westerly dust storms and Amer
block hills as obstruction. Such sand deposits have been seen further Eastward along the
Lalsot Forest block of the division and at many other places too. Though the scientists of
GAZRI are of the opinion that the Thar Desert is not marching but the occurrence of sand hills
like Bhura Tiba just in front of Sisodia Garden, jaipur are clear evidences of sand drifting
from desert. There are numerous instances of this kind in the division. The most predominant
component of the sand is quartz in well-rounded grains, but feldspar and hornblende grains
also occur, with a fair proportion of calcerous miniferal shells, and help to suggest the site of
origin of the sand with which they are intimately related. The sand of the area, however, is
indistinguishable from the sand of the sesgore. At places where humus layer is absent the sand
deposits are greatly prone to erosion both by wind and water. The prevailing winds diversify
the shape of surfaces heaping up sand sin a well-marked series of ridges, dunes and hillocks.
The rainwater plays havoc with these sand deposits. The historical disaster of July 1981
attained its mosy destructive dimensions owing to the boundless soil erosion, in Jaipur. It was
the loose sand deposited along the southwestern corner of Amer block, from where originates
the Morel basin, and western part of Jhalana block which aggravated the disaster. It was
carried away by rainwater and blocked the regular drainage system leading to exceptional
flood hazard. It gave rise to further soil erosion and formation of entirely fresh river courses
nallah beds to a great extent. The sand so carried away encroached thousands of hectares of
cultivable land in Morel basin. The origin of this disaster is chiefly attributed to the
deforestation of the hills and stabilized. Sand dunes around Jaipur city.
The hills of high land as well as those of low land are concentrated in the Northern and
Eastern part of the division. They belon to the Aravalli and Delhi system of rocks consisting
mainly of Quartzite, Schists, Dolomite, Gneiss, Megamite, Phyllite, Ganite, Pegmatite, Marble
and Amphibolite etc. most of the hills have degraded ecological status supporting scanty tree
growth. It is only th ehills which are away from the human habitations that support dense
forest growth comprising Anogeissus pendula, Acacia catechu, Boswellia serrata, Acacia
senegal, Butea monospma etc. Digota, Ramgarh, Badeline, Gol, Amer, Talwa-Bihajar, Kalikho, Kanikhor etc. are the forest blocks, which are thickly covered with vegetation. The rest
are degraded or grassy blanks. The arid plains in the vicinity of hills and falling under forests
are excessively ravinous in character and support scanty xerophytes vegetation. The various
Grass Birs some how can contain tree growth of Prosopis cineraria, Acacia nilotica etc.
The area of division is well drained with an extensive system of seasonal rivers, tributaries and
nallahs. Two river basins namely the Ban Ganga and the Morel river basins cover the major
part of the division, draining towards East and SSE. The Banganga riginates from a sandy
plain near Medh in Viratnagar range where an annual fair is held during summer. The site is
considered very holy because it is believed that Arjuna arched an arrow so forcibly that the
ground water started oozing out, hence it carries the name Banganga. The famous water
reservoir called Ramgarh Dam which cater the demand of drinking water of Jaipur city and
irrigate hundreds of hectares of agricultural land is constructed over this uses extends towards
owing to flood and excessive soil erosion. Its bed is entirely sandy throughout. At places it
changes its course. Adjacent to this towards south lies the Morel basin. In fact Morel
originates from Forest Block of Dhula Ravji and travels towards south inflexing with banister
Dhund which originates from Dhund valley of Amer block us its tributary. An important
bridge of N.H.-11 constructed over this river near Kanota was badly damaged during the
recent flood of 1981. th efamous nallah of Amanishah that played great havoc with pink city
of Jaipur and claimed numerous human lives and unbound property losses, originates from
western aspect of Amer block. It joins with Dhund River after passing through Sanganer. All
these traverse thrugh low land part of the division and cause great damage owing to soil
erosion. Morel Dam, which is an important irrigation reservoir, is constructed over Morel
River near Lalsot. It was also badly damaged during the flood. The third river draining
towards south is Bani. It originates from plains near near Bagroo. The Mashi forms the
southern boundary of the division which alongwith Bandi River falls into the Banas river near
Tonk. The Medha rver drains towards west. The Sabi River in North of the division originates
from neighbourhood of Viratnagar and drains towards north. In addition to these, there are a
number of small and big nallahs, which make the drainage system of the Division further
healthier.
The quarterly or underground water geral is good to moderately Saline-alkaline. The wells
situated in the sandy areas possess good quality of water while the wells tapping clayey
alluvium have saline alkaline water. By analyzing the data for determining the quality of
under ground water it was found that Na is the predominant caption ranging from 0.87 to
108.70 meq./litre followed by magnesium varying in concentration from 0.4 to 30.4 meq/litre
which is higher than calcium in all waters. Carbonates and bicarbonates are usually present in
all waters. Sulphates and chlorides are dominant anions. The Boron concentration ranges from
0.03 to 2.5 ppm. The depth of the water table varies from 10 to 20 meters with 1 to 3 m.
fluctuations between monsoon and summer periods. The recuperative capacity of wells in
general is poor as precipitation is the only source of recharging them. 94% of the irrigation is
done by wells. The data showing chemical composition of well waters in Jaipur district
(Source State soil survey Organisation, rajasthan- Jaipur) is given in append to this chapter
shows the DEPTH TO WATER LEVEL IN BANGANGA RIVER BASIN and AQUIFER
DISTRIBUTION AND WATER TABLE, BANGANGA RIVER BASIN.
1)
The banks of the rivers and various nallahs are deeply gullied way to the formation of
vast ravines. Excessive soil erosion along banks uproots the treegrowth. It also posses a
10
serious threat to the adjoining cultivated land wherein conservation measures are not
carried out as per requirement of watershed management.
2)
The altitude of the tract varies from 253 m (Chandera mahua) to 886 m above
M.S.L.(Samod Hill). The altitude of Jaipur is 451 m above M.S.L.
Floral Study
Approximate 83 (Includining detour) km patch of DFC line is passing from Jaipur District and
along the railway track Acacia species, Zizypus spp. A.indica, Eucalyptus, Salvedora spp. and
Prosopis species are found. No forest area is directly affected by the DFC line in the district.
Approximate 1838 trees would be affected by this project. The data on flora was collected
from District Forest Working Plan.

Directly Affected Wild Life & Forest Reserves
Nharghar wild life sanctuary- WLS is approximate 30 Km. away from DFC detouer
section in eastern side. No wild life sanctuary is affected by this project.
Sambhar Lake- Sambhar lake is appoximate 6 Km. away from Detuor section.
Location:
Sambhar is a small town, located at a distance of 60kms in the west of Jaipur, on
Jaipur-Ajmer Highway. Sambhar is famous for the largest saline lake in India. Due to
this fact, Sambhar is also known as Salt Lake City. Coordinates of site center
(degrees): 2700'N 07500'E, Coordinates of site center (decimal lat long): 27,00
75,00.
Some 60 km west of Jaipur in Rajasthan, is India's largest salt lake. The waters of
Sambhar have been used for centuries to make salt. There is, however, another
distinctive feature of this extensive saline wetland. During winter, it receives tens of
thousands of winged visitors, some migrating from as far north as Siberia. For such
waterfowl as the flamingo, Sambhar Lake is one of the few habitats that ensure
sustenance every year. It is in recognition of the urgency to protect the winter home of
these 'distinguished guests' that Sambhar Lake was designated as a Ramsar site in
1990.
Justification for Designation as Ramsar Site
Together with neighbouring saline wetlands, Phulera and Deedwana, the lake is
probably the most important wintering area for flamingoes (both Phoniconaias minor
and Phoenicopterus roseus) in India outside the Rann of Kachchh. It is the largest
representative in India of a specialized kind of habitat - salt lakes - which are unique
24
not only in their physical and chemical attributes but also support a highly specialized
group of organisms including the alga, Dunaliella salina and the bacterium Serratia
sambhariana. Sambhar lake brine is somewhat unique in that it has a very low
potassium concentration. Sambhar means salt and the lake has been providing salt for
over a thousand years. Various rulers of Jaipur and Jodhpur including Sindhias,
Rajputs, Marathas and Mughals have owned the lake in their ruling periods. In 1870, it
was leased to the British.
After independence, the lake was taken over by the government. In the present day, it
is managed by Sambhar Salts Limited, a joint venture of Hindustan Salts and the
Government of Rajasthan. Sambhar Lake elongates to the length of 22.5 kms. The
lake is fed by several seasonal freshwater streams, two of the major ones being the
rivers Mendha and Rupangarh. The vast lake has been divided into two sections by a
5-km long stone dam. On the eastern side of the dam, there are reservoirs for salt
extraction where salt has been farmed for a thousand years.
To the eastern part of the dam, you will find a rail trolley system that was originally
developed by the British to get across the dam and to access various outlying points in
the salt works. On the sand-smothered lanes on the shore of the Lake, you will see
reddish-pink office buildings of Sambhar Salts Ltd. You can also visit the salt
laboratory and the salt museum on the terrain.
Sambhar Lake is a place where horizons stretch to perpetuity, where water and sky
merge in a shimmer of gossamer blue. The waters here are glacially still, edged with a
glittering frost of salt. Sambhar has been classified as a Ramsar site (recognized
wetland of international importance) since the wetland is a residence for thousands of
flamingos and other birds that migrate from northern Asia in winters.
Train Route Map
25
Sambhar Lake Railway Station is Approximate 11 to 14 Km. away from DFC Track.
For bird-lovers, this is the best place to explore. Infect, the lure of Flamingos brings tourists to
visit this salty lake. Myriad tall and dainty birds with their ballerina tutus come here to enjoy
the delicious spirulina algae that thrive when the water reaches a medium degree of salinity.
You can spot other birds too like pelicans, Storks, sandpipers, redshanks, black-winged stilts,
coots, and shovelers float relaxing on the water.
Importance: The site is important for wintering waterbirds, including Pelecanus onocrotalus,
P. philippensis (1,000 Pelecanus spp.), Phoenicopterus ruber roseus, P. minor (500,000
Phoenicopterus spp.), Anser indicus (max. 170), Anas clypeata and Recurvirostra avosetta.
The terrestrial fauna confined to the catchment area includes threatened species like the sawscaled viper Echis carinatus.
Wetland Types: 5, Ts, R, Q, N (dominant types shown in bold)
A large saline lake surrounded by sand flats and dry thorn scrub, fed by two seasonal rivers
(the Bandi and Mendha), and several seasonal streams.
Biological/Ecological notes: In 1987, following four years of drought, the lake was
completely dry by December. Shoreline vegetation includes the halophytes Suaeda fruticosa,
Salsola baryosma and Cressa cretica.
Hydrological/Physical notes: The lake often dries out in early summer (March-June) until the
monsoon rains, when water depths vary between 0.5 m and 2 m.
Human Uses: An area of about 7,800 ha in the eastern part of the lake is used for salt
production, and is one of the largest of such areas in India.
Conservation Measures: The site is State owned, but part is leased to the Salt Department of
the Government of India. Hunting is prohibited, and there is a proposal to designate the area as
a Bird Sanctuary. The wetland has been identified as one of the sites for conservation action
under the Indian Wetland Conservation Programme, and a detailed management plan is in
preparation (as of 1991).
Adverse Factors: Increasing siltation of the lake has resulted from desertification of the
surrounding land, caused mainly through over-grazing by domestic livestock. Domestic
sewage is discharged into the site from the town of Sambhar.
26
Sambhar Salts Limited (SSL) was incorporated on 30.9.1964 as a subsidiary Company of

Hindustan Salts Limited by transferring the salt sources at Sambhar Subsequently, The
Sambhar Lake salt Sources were transferred to a newly formed subsidiary company, Sambhar
Salts Limited in terms of V. T. Krishnamachari Award. The Equity of Sambhar Salt Limited
in owned 60% by the Government of India through Hindustan Salts Limited and 40% by
Government of Rajasthan in terms of V. T. Krishnamachari Award. Sambhar Salt Limited has
been made a subsidiary Company, which is having over 90 sq. miles of production area at
Sambhar and Nawa. SSL has recently diversified the business on many counts and
considerable infrastructure has been added to produce various varieties of high quality salt.
Therefore depending on the orders, we can process and send any type and quantity of salt

Biodiversity Values
Flora
One of the most conspicuous organisms is the green alga, Dunaliella salina, common in salt
water lakes.
Fauna
The lake supports a large population of avifauna especially flamingoes, Northern shoveller
and blackheaded gull. Some 45 species of aquatic birds including ducks, geese and shorebirds
have been recorded.
Forest Area

Ajmer
The Ajmer forests lie in five ranges namely, Ajmar, Kishangarh, Beawar, Sarwar and Raoll. These
ranges are all with in Ajmar revenue district. Bhim Range of Udaipur district, which used to be in
Ajmar Forest Division has been gently transferred to Udaipur Forest Division and has been excluded
from this working plan.
The trac lies nearly in the central portion of Rajasthan between 250 38 and 26052 North latitude and
73054 and 75024East longitude. Nagaur and Jaipur district, in the South by Udaipur and Bhilwara
districts, in the East by Jaipur, Tonk and Bhilwara districts and in the West by Nagaur and Pali distircts
of Rajasthan, bound Ajmar Forest Division in the North.
The total land area of the Division is 8,479 km2. Out of which 592 km2. Area is under forest, which
works out to about 7% of the total land area. The Headquarters of the Division is located at Ajmar. It
falls under the administrative control of the Conservator of Forests, Ajmar. Other superior officials,
namely Addl. Chief Conservator of Forest is headquarter at Van-Bhawan, Jaipur, The office of the
Divisional Forest office is situated at Jaipur Road, Ajmar. The Headquarter is easily approachable by
Highway No.8 together with network of State Highway and other district roads. It is an important
junction with Division Headquarter of Western Railways. Being nearer to Jaipur and being the Seat of
Khwaja Moinuddin Chistee, a holyplace for people of all religions, it has tourism potential and is
being developed as such.
THE FORESTS
Most of the forest death with in this working plans falls under the major group II-DRY TROPICAL
FORESTS as per champion and Seths revised classification of forest types of India. As per champion
and Seths classification, the following groups, subgroups, types and subtypes are recognized in this
area: Group-5- TROPICAL DRY DECIDUOUS FORESTS.

Dr. Mathur C.M. has classified these, forests into the following floristic series along with the degraded
and derived ones:
a)-Series :
1) Anogeissus pendula.
2) Degraded Anogeissus pendula.
3) - Anogeissus latifolia.
4) - Boswellia serrata-Lannea coromandelica.
5) - Acacia nilotica.
6) - Grass lands.
(b)- Facies:
1) Euphorbia nivulia.
2) - Acacia leucophloea.
3) - Ziayphus mumularia.
4) - Dendrooalamus strictus.
The forests occur on a variety of soil and rock formations and thus they very greatly in composite and
quality, Edaphic and biotic factors chiefly determine their composition, distribution and quality. About
80% of the area is either occupied by bare rocks or supports a spare growth of scrub-forests. The
stocking is poor except in the forest of Arawali Range.
Northern dry mixed deciduous forests:
This type of forest is generally visible in the forest blocks of Bagmaal, Merian, Todgarh and parts of
Satukhera, Charplan of this Division. But it has been observed that species like Anogeissus Pendula,
Boswellia serrata, and Acacia senegal belonging to this type tend to form more or less pure
consociations under the influence of characteristic edalphic conditions prevaling in Aravalli hills.
However this type is mostly confined to valleys and Nalla banks where soil and moisture conditions
are relatively better. On upper well-drained plateaus and slopes. Boswellia serrata tends to replace this
type where-as at other drier slopes Anogeissus pendula forest occur in close proximity with
practionally no transition.
The over wood of these forests consists of Anofeissus pendula, Boswellia serrata, Acacia catechu and
occasional trees of Sterculia urens, Moringa Aoncarensis, Lannea coromandelica, Crateavia religiosa,
Albizzia lebbek and Dispyros malanoxylon. While trees of Mitragyna parvifolia. Ficus racemosa,
Albizzia are mostly observed in valleys and on the bank of nallhs. The underwood consists of
Wrightea of tinctoria, Dichrostachys cineria, Flacourtia india Mxallotus philipinensis, Zizyphus
mauritiana,, Acacia leucophloea, Holarrhena antidysentre Bauhinia racemosa, Euphorbia nivulia, Ficus
tomenttosa The undergrowth includes Grewia tenax, Grewia Securinga leucopyrus, Rhus mysorensis,
Zizyphus nummularia, Abrus precatorius, etc. The ground cover consists of cassia tora, Indigofora
species, Amara species, Conyzoides, Tephrosia purpurea, Mimosa spp.Barleria spp., Commelina
benghalensis, Adhatoda spp, Argemone maxicana, Xanthium strumarium, Gcimum spp Salanum
Zanthoearpum etc. The common grasses occurs in the tract are Apluda mutiea ,Aristida spp. Bra
spp.Cenchrus spp. Cynodon dactylon, Dichanthium annulatum, Digitaria spp. Eragrpstis spp. Heteropo
contortus, Panucum spp. Sporobolum spp. etc.
Ecological status
30
The miscellaneous forests described under paragraph are climatic climax. But most of the species
constituting this type tend to form pure consol under edaphic conditions peculiar to Aravalli hill
resulting in different edaphic climax formations.
Anogeissus pendula Forests (Type 5B/E1)
This type is characteristically recognise by the almost pure consociations of Anogeissue pendula,
whereing, it gregariously occurs forming more than 80% of the crop.Most of the forest of Ajmar
Division are representative of this type. Anogeissus pendula is generally slow growing on favorable
sits conditions as in Merian, Todgari and Baghmaal forest blocks of Raoli Range. In the most of the
forest areas, chiefly near the towns, the Anogeissus Pendula has been continuously hacked and grazed
as a result of which it is found as a struggling bush, and also root stock is visible on the higher slopes
of hill hills as in Madar pahar, Mahua Bir, Naay Pahar, Taragarh forest blocks of Ajmar Range, Kotra
Forest block of Sarwar Range. These forest blocks used to support good stands of Anogeissus pendula
and asscciates before 1947 but they hays been maltreated in the part leaving them in a degraded
condition and in extreme cases, the batches have been rendered completely blank.
These forests are infact confined to the sites away from the habitations. Near the villages and towns it
has undergone excessive retrograssion and consists of young bushy coppic shoots as a result of
constant hacking and grazing. In the interior part of Baghmal, Mecien and Todgarh forest blocks,
where these is minimum of biotic interference by men and his animals, the conditions and quality of
Anogeissus pendula forest is far better and also its regeneration is satisfactory. The crop is regularly
constituted of proper age gradations in these forests blocks.
Anogeissus pendula is also found mixed with Acacia catechu, Acacia senegal, Acacia leucophloea,
Boswellia serrata, Lannea coromandelica, Zizyphus mauritiana,Wrightia tinctoria, Flacourtia indica,
Bitea monosperma, Gassia fistula, Dicspyros melanoxylon, Ehretia laevis, Albizzia lebbek,Moringa
coneanensis, Crateava religiosa, Mitragyna parvifolia, Ficus racemosa, It may be mentioned hers that
Mitragyna parvifolia, Ficus racemosa, and Butea monosperma and Cassia fistula are confined to small
patches in moist localities and the banks of nallas and Diospyros melanoxylon is also rarely found in
forest block .
Grassy blanks with Euphorbia nivulia occur over large areas where soil conditions are poor and also
where biotic interference is maximum. A substantial area is covered by scrub forest Maytenus
emarginata, Flacourtia indica, and Euphorbia spp. The grass bir areas of Kishangar Sarwar and Beawar
ranges and plain areas along the foot hills generally support Prosopis cineraria , Salvadora clooides,
Capparis decidus, Zizyphus spp., Acacia leucoplloea, Prosopis chilensis (P.Juliflora).
In order to facilitate their management, the forests may be broadly distributed as under :S.No -------------Type1)

Well stocked Anogeissus pendula forests (Types 5B/E1)

This type is characteristically recognised the almost purs consociations of Anogeissus pendula where
in it gregariously occurs forming more than 80% of the crop. Most of the forest of Ajmar Division was
at one time, representative of this type. But this type is limited to Baghmaal, Tadgarh, Median of
Satukhera forest blocks of this division. The main associates of A. Pandula are Boswellia Lannea
coromandelica, Wrightia tinctoria, Flaccurt Indica, Butea monosperma, Acacia catechu, Acacia
senegal , Ehretia laevis, Albizzia lebbek, Zizyphus mauritiana, Moringa concanensis, Crataeva
religiosa and Mitragyna parviolia, Ficus raemosa is also rarely found along the banks of nallas.
Anogeissus pendula sorub (5B/E1-DS1)
Large areas of A.Pendula forests have degraded due to continued maltreatment meted during the past.
Many of thesr areas are close to towns and villages. These have been recklessly cut and subjected to
unrestricted grazing and browsing during the past. The growing stock mainly comprises of root stock
of pendula and its scattered tree with its associates like Grewia tenaz, Rhus mysorensis, Dichrostachys cineraria and Grswia flevescens. Regeneration of A.pendula, the main spp. Is generally
absent and the top. Soil has been washed away due to continued exposure to rain in the absence of
proper soil cover.
Ecological status
In the revised survey of forest types of India, Champion and Seth have observed, This association
links the Northern and southern forest of the dry deciduous forests and both with the thorn forest. This
form is a result of continuous process of ecological retrogression of the edaphic climax 5/E1 under
acute biotic pressures. As indicated previously, Anogeissus pendula is felled for small timber and
lopped for fodder and fuel wood. There after, its coppice regeneration and also its natural regeneration
are browsed and trampled by goats and cattle. At this stage thorny species invade the area and outnumber the scolding shoots of main spp. The inferior thorny species in the area are Dichrostachys
cineria, Acacia leucophloea, Zizyphus nummularia, Acacia senegal along with species like Rhus
mysoransis, Grewia spp.Anogeissus pendula is reduced is reduced to creeping and bushy growth
usually multistemmed from base and reach its last stage before it is totally eliminated. The 5B/E1-DS 1
under strict protection from grazing with a little soil and moisture conservation gives rise to a
secondary stage leading to regain the lost ecological status.
Boswellia forests (5B/E2)
Boswellia serrata is characteristically to the higher steeper slopes and well drained top plateau of these
blocks. Its main asspciates are Anogeissus pendula, Lannea coromandelica, Acacia spp, Albizzia
lebbek. The undergrl with consists of Rhus mysorensis, Grewia spp. Heteropogon contortus, and
Aristida spp.
Ecological status:
Boswellia forests are distinctly aneodaphic climax. The local people due to their high slopes and
limited use of salar least disturb these. The ratio of salar and Gol in the Anogeissus pendula forest is
progressively increasing due to felling of other species. Boswellia serrata can be seen growing near
human habitations where no other spp. could stand the biotic pressure.
Babul forest (Type 5B/E5)
This type is often found in small patches on the base of hillsides and in valleys with Anogeissus
pendula. It is seen in parts of Aspahar, Bad Kochran, Sheo Nagari and sheoppura ghat forest block of
this division. It is a pronounced edaphic subtype though some times it occurs due to maltreatment in
dry deciduous forest.
Phoenix savannah (Type 5B/E8a)
Phoenix Sylvestris occurs as pure gregarious riverian fringing vegetation on narrow alluvial deposits
along streams and water logged areas. This type is conspicuously seen along Khajooriya naal in
32
Todgarh forest block. It is associated with Acacia leucophloea, Vitex negundo, Capparis and Grewia
spp.
Dry tropical Rivera in forest (Types 5B/1S1)
An irregular over wood of greater height than climax dry deciduous forest forming patches with
varying amounts of smaller trees and shrubby growth. It occurs in very small areas on light sandy soil
along sections of streams as in Baghmaal and garh forest blocks.
Desert Thorn Forest (Type 6B/C1)
This type occurs on the low hills, flat hill and stabilised sand dunes as in parts of Makarwali Bela-wat,
and karel Nand forest blocks. The species found have strong tend- lency to form almost pure
gregarious consociations. Acacia senegal and prosopis cineraria are the main species. These are found
in association with Acacia leuco-phloca Capparis deciduas, Maytenus Balanites aegyptica etc.
Ecological status
As per Champion and Seth, the occurrence of consociations of Acacia senegal and prosopis spp has
been recognised as climatic climaxes.
Ravine thron forest (Types 6B/C2)
This type occurs on the gullied sand of all deposits along foothills and also along nallahs in parts of
Karel naad (comptt. 4-5) Kanas Banse Kanas Nedlia, Bani Doonfri forest blocks of this division. The
growing stock mainly consists of acacia senegal, acia leucophloea, Prosopis cineraria, Maytenus
emarginata, Balanites aegyptica, Acacia, Calygonum polygonoides, Acacia jacquemontic Zizyphus spp.
The under growth consists of Xantphytes spp. Eragrostis sp. Apluda mutica, Heteropogon contortus,
Dicanthium annulatum, Sporobolus and Aristida spp. The ground over also consists of Cassia tora,
Tephrosia purpuria. The crop is of very low density and dominant tree species usually do not attain
height more than 4-5 metres.
Ecological status
As per Champion and Seth, this type has been classified as climax. But due to excessive biotic
interference and severe erosion this is under continuous retrogression. As a result of this most of the
ravinous areas of this Division, which are not big in extent, support scares tree growth.
Zizyphus scrub (Type 6B/DS1)
This type occurs on gravelly soils usually on flat ground along foothills which is heavly grazed and
browsed. The occurrence of trees is scanty and tree species like Acacia leucophloea, Prosopis cineraria
and Zizyphus spp. are found scattered allover. It can be seen in parts of Dhasuk Bir, Gothiana,
Bhamolao, Karel naad, Kharva and Kharwa piplas forest blocks and in small patches through out the
division.
Ecological status
This type is primarily a result of reckless destruction of thorny trees and thus owes its origin to intense
biotic pressure. It appears to have formed biotic climax because Zizyphus spp. is grazed and cut for
fodder every year. It is intermingled with Euphorbia scrub on degraded hills.
Tropical Euphorbia scrub (Type 6B/DS2)
This type occurs on the hills and hill base mostly near habitation. These areas have remained under
excessive biotic pressure a result of continuous degradation of Anogeissue and other thorny species.
Euphobia nenifolia occurs gregariously in association with Rhus mysorensis, Dichrostachys cinera and
grasses like Aristida spp in pockets of shallow soil. This type is met with in the parts of Taragarh, Jhak
Belawat, Jajota paladi, Chot forest blocks of this division.
Ecological status
This type is primarily a result of heavy grass and felling of tree growth in the past. It occupied stony
sites in general.

Acacia senegal forest (Types 6B/E2)

The puro consociations of Acacia senegal as found in Mandawaria, Kanas Nedilia, Danta Rahesi, Ran
Shri Nagar (compartment 15 and parts of comptt. 10 & and Moyna forest blocks of this division can
best sifted under this type. This type is typically open gregarious over wood of pure Acacia senegal
with Acacia leucophloea, Dichrostachys cinerea, Prosopis cineraria as associates. Undergrowth
consists of Com mukul, Mimosa rubicalulis, Barleria spp. Teph purpuria, Securinga spp. etc.
Ecological status
This type is recognized as an edaphic climax per champion and Seth,
Desert dune scrub (Type 6/E4/DS1/IS1)
A very open and irregular formation of trees and bushes. The trees are thorny and all xerophytes. This
type occurs in parts of Mankarwali, Karelnad and Kanas nedlia forest block this division. The main
spp. of this type are Prosopis cineraria, Acacia leucophloea ,Acacia jacquemontii,Zizyphus spp.
Calotropis procera, Crotolaaria burhia,Aerva tomentosa, LeptadEIA Study pyrotechnica ,Acacia
senegal, etc. Grasses found are Cenchrus, Aristida and Eragrostis spp. This type is found chiyton sand
dunes of small dimensions round about Pushkar.
Floral Study
Approximate 101 km patch of DFC line is passing from Ajmer District and along the railway track.
Acacia species, A.indica, Eucalyptus and Prosopis species are dominant species. Near Kishangarh 1.5
Km patch of DFC alignment passing Forest area and it acquired approximate 6.55 Ha land of forest
area approximate 1838 trees would be affected by this project. The data on flora was collected from
District Forest Working Plan.

In the N/W these are bounded by Jodhpur and Nagaur district.
In the west by Barmer district, in the South by Banas Kantha and sirohi district, in the Norht-East by
Ajmer distric and in the South-east by Udaipur district.
The trac lies in the South-Western portion of Rajasthan in Between latitudes 24037 and 260 29 north
and longitudes 710 11 and 740 18 east. Thus the Whole track is covered by 57 G.T. Sheets published
by Survey of India.

And 78 ha in Pali Range had been transferred to other department from Pali paddock.
Thus the total area increased in this Plan comes to 291.1 km2. There is certain factor, which are also
responsible for the difference in area. Such as the boundary of certain for areas has not been marked
by survey of India on G.T. Sheet. Thus such areas are marked on G.T. sheet on the basis of Record
provided by Division and as per field conditions. Although all possible care has been taken in marking
the boundary but still human and instrumental error cannot be ruled out.
Similarly in calculation the Division area from stock map the juman and instrumental error cannot be
ruled out. A difference of 1.8 km2 in the Forest area can be due to these reasons, which is almost
negligible.

The forest occur on a variety of rock & Soil formations Consequent upon this the crop varies greatly in
quality and composition. The chief factors determining the quality, composition distribution etc. are
biotic & edaphic. Near habitations the forests are degraded & poor in density and stunted. This
condution has developed due to over grazing, pollarding & hacking due to increase in population of
46
men & cattle. In remote parts the growth & stocking is better. Near nalla banks & in the beds, the
growth is good in comparison to exposed and poor sites. As a whole the forests are poorly stocked and
limited to hill ranges of Aravallis.
The main economically valuable species are Kalia Dhav (Anogeissus pendula) salar (Boswellia
serrata) and Khair (Acacia catechu). Mostly Dhok is found in pure stans. It is very slow growing tree
which yields small timber and fuel wood. The wood is very hard and the charcoal, if manufactured, is
of very good quality in comparison to other spps. It usually prefers foothills but is also found on upper
and lower reaches at places. It resists the biotic interference & tries against odds desperately till it
finally gives up against a continuous onslaught on it. This fight against odds by it can be witnessed
near habitations where it is the target of orgies both by men and his cattle. If allowed to grow with less
biotic interfence and favorable edaphic conditions, it can grow into a good stand. This tree can easily
attain a height of 12 m and girth of girth of one meter. In continousaly hacked areas, it starts creeping
and spreading on the ground as a natural defensive mechanism for survival. Large areas seem to be
maltreated in the past leaving them in the present degraded stage. Area in range Sendra, Bijaji Ka
Guda, Jalor, Sanchor are the worst sufferers some areas in rage Jojawar & Sadri are having slightly
better crop due to comparatively less interference & remoteness from habitation.
Dhok is mostly gregarious but is also found mixed with Goria dhav (Anogeissus latifolia) Salar,
(Boswellia Serrata),Gol (Lannea cormendelica), Semal (Bombaxceiba), Sarguda (Moringa concaensis),
Khirni (wrightia tinctoria), Indrok Dhav (Anoqeissus sericea) Umb (Miliusa tometosa),Khair (Acacia
catechu) Ber (Zizyphus mauritiana) Aritha (Sapindus emarginatus ) Kadaya (Sterculia urens), Adra
(Bauhinia raemosa) Kemda (Mitragyca paryiflia) Aranjia (Acacia leucophloea) Timan (Diospyros
melanoxylon) Gagan (Grewia tenaz), Frangan (Grewia flavescens) etc.
Salar is found gregariously on higher slopes, ridges & plateaus. The other common associates are
Gurjan, Goria Dhav Khari, Tendu, Kankan, Umb, Kadaya, Mokah etc. Bamboo is found at most
palces in Dhok-Salar forest where biotic interfence is less & the edaphic conditions are slightly better.
Areas in the vicinity village support a mixture of spps. Comprising mainly of Arajia, (Acacia
leucophloea), Kumtha (Acacia Senegal) Kolai dichrostachys cinerea ) Ber, Knakera etc. Along & in
the nalla beds occur Dhok Kemda, Jamun, Pipal, Bargad, Jhau, Lamkana, and Sitaphal. Large areas
are blank, have reached the last stage of degradation of Dhok forest.
Grassy blanks occur over large areas, where soil condition is poor. These grassy areas also have tree
growth of which most prominent is Prosopis chilensis (artificially planted ) Its associates are Jal,
Kankera, Kumtha & at Places Babul.
In order to facilitate their management the forests may broadly calssified as under

Well stocked Dhok forests
More or less these forests are found in patches throughout the area of the forest divisions. The
Aravallic hill series comprises the bulk of the forest area of the divisions. The principal species Dhok
(Anogeissus pendula) which occurs gregariously and constitutes more than 75% of the crop. The
associtateds are Aranjia (Acacia leucophloea) , Kumtha (acacia Senegal), Khair(Acacia catechu),
Semal (Bombax ceiba ),Aritha (Sapindus emarginatus) Sarguda (Moringa concanensis) Salar
(Boswellia Serrata), gol (Lannea coromendelica ), Adra (Bauhinia reacemosa) Piipal (Ficus religiosa)

Dhaman (Grewia tiliaefolia), Goria Dhav (Anoqeissus Latifolia), Ghitor (Copparis horrida), Gugal
(Commiphora wightii, Kolai (Dichrostachya cinererea), Nim (Azadirachta indica ), Shiordia
(Holoptelia integrifolia), Kalia (Albizzia lebbek) etc.
Mesophytic associates which are found in association with Dhok are Kemda (Mitragyna, parvifolia),
Jamun (Syzygium cumini), Sewan (Gmelina arhorea), Rohini. (mallotus philippinensis), Dhak (Butea
monosperma), Ardub (Ailanthus excelsa), Gular (Umra) (Ficus glomerata), Imli (Tamarindus indica),
Khajur (Phoenix sylvestris), Agnia (Bridelia sguamosa), Vilayati babul (Pprosopis chilensis).
The undergrowth mostly consists of Jharber (Zizyphus hummularia), Ardusa (Adhatoda vasica),
Adhasisi Xanthium strumarium Dasan Rhus mysurensis), Dari (Woodfordia fruticosa Dholekan
(Grewia villosa) Kadda (Holorrhena antidysantrica Gangan (Grewia tenax Frangan (Grewia
flavescens), Kanter (Capparis sepiaria, Marorphali (Helicteresisora), Nagad (Vitex negundo), Salepan
(Securingea leucopyrus), Sitraval (Plumbago zeylanica Thor Euphorbia nivulia) Bhuringani Solanum
surattense Koli Kanda Urginea indica Murali (Lycium bardanum) etc.
The climbers rarely found are Chirmi Abrus precatorius Narkanta Asparagus dumosus Pilwan Coculus
pendulus Panibel Cissus repanda Phang Rivea hypocrateriformis Palasbel (Butea superba Kalibel
(Ventilago calyculate etc.In fully stocked areas grasses are generally deficient and consists of Dab
(Desmostachya bipinnata Dub Cynodon dectylon Kans Saccharum spontaneum etc.
Dhok is a slow growing tree and the height varies from 3.5 to 8 m. In favourable localities like, near
the riverbanks, sheltered valley, the height varies from 6 to 11 m but near habitation it is seldom more
than 3 m. The diameter varies 5 to 15 cm at breast trees with 3 m clear bole are found.
The regeneration is mainly by coppice Seedling regene ration is generally deficient and on hilly areas
it is totally absent. Reproduction from root suckers is also seen at places where the ground is well
covered with soil.
Degraded Dhok Forest
In large areas of these divisions Dhok trees are malformed and shunted in growth. Few seattered trees
growing at places indicate that the present bushy and creeping growth of Dohk is the result of
continous hacking and illicit felling in the area. The trees are illicitly cut by the people and after that
the growing shoots are browsed by the cattle repeatedly. This continuous maltreetment has resulted in
the conversion of Dhok forests with well grown trees to the forest with Dhok growing in bushy form.
Ex-Jagir areas which were taken over after the resumption of Jagir in 1952 were clear felled by the
resumption of Jagir in 1952 were felled by the Jagirdars for the greed of income without giving any
thought to silvicultur requirements. All such areas new support a degraded Dhok Forest. Due to
continuous exposure the side condition has also deteriorat.
These degraded forest areas of Dhok are still being subjected to continuous grazing and browsing.
Some Trees put on Whaterver growth, isc also being illicitly cut by the people. As a result, the areas
are getting poorer in site quality. The only solution for revival of pre- existed stage lies in taking
effective soil conservation measures followed by artificial regeneration. The areas must be protected
from grazing and browsing.
Ecological status:
According to Forest type of India described by Champion and Sath. This association links the
Nothern and Southern Form of the day deeiduousb with thron Forest. It is apparently an edaphic
olimax because it occurs on Varioous geological Formation and on different types of soils. Since
hundreds of years, it has now maintained itself and is also regenerating naturally. However Dhok has
been eliminated due to repeated hacking from the hilly areas whear only bushes ofmiseellaneous spp
now exit.
Soil strewn with boulders and rocky out crops may also be a limiting factor for the Dhok to establish
itself. Dhokstands are also found in patches of varying extent in depressions, along nallas & on slopes.
48
Besides, due to heavy grazing and frequsnt fires the regeneration of Dhok both by seed as well as from
coppice is not able to establish itself. Illicit fellings have further abetted the process of extinction of
Dhok forest. These factors have caused retardation in growth, reduction in density of the crop and in
creation of blanks over vast stretches. In the vicinity of the habitations Dhok has therefore, tended to
become bushy and grow like a carpet along the ground and in extreme cases it has been eliminated
altogether. Therefore, in the prevailing circumstances it appears to be true that Dhok is, ecologically, in
a edaphic climax in these divisions.
The salar capital Forests
These forests occupy the hill zone above the Dhok forests. Like Dhok, Salar also grows gregariously
on higher hill tops & on precipitous slopes where soil depth is shallow & moisture content is less. It is
generally found at elevations 400 to 110 m above m.s.l. However beteen 350 and 400 m it is found
mixed with Dhok forest. It corresponds to 5/E-2 Boswellia serrate forest according to Champion &
Seths classification.
The common associates of salar are Goria Dhav (Anogeissus latifolia, Gol (Lannea coromendelica),
Tendu (Diospyros melanoxylon), Khirin (Wfightia tincotoria), Kadaya (Sterculea urens), Aritha
(Sapindus emarginatus), Shirdia (Holoptelia integrifolia), Mokha (Schrebera swietenioides), Adra
(Bauhinia racemosa), Rohan (Soyamida febrifuge) etc. It grows in intimate mixture with Gol. Salar
trees are ordinarily 10-15 m high and 80-150 cm. in grith. The trees are generally mature to over
mature and are becoming hollow. The crop is generallyopen and the average density is 0.3 to 0.5. The
understorey is thin in growth consisting of Ganga (Grewia tenex), Frangan (Grewia flevescens.
Tambolia (Ehretia laevies), Barna (crataeva adinsonii), Kadda (Holorrhena antidysentrica) etc. In
moist sheltered places and near nallas, scattered bamboo clumps are also found. The Shruby
undergrowth is usually scant. Climbers are few and comprise of Chirmi (Abrus precatorius), Kenwach
(Mucuna prurit) etc.
The ground cover consists of grasses like Lapla (Aristida depressa), Bhangti (Apluda mutica) etc. The
epipyta Banda (Dendrophthoe falcate), is also seen on some of the Salar trees.
The regeneration of Salar is deficient. However advance growth is available in only pole form all over
the Salar zone. But seedling regeneration is almost absent. The reason for this unnatural phenomenon
observed is due to excessive grazing in these forests, by which the seedling get trampled &
consequently die. It is only through effective closure that the regeneration can be induced.
Ecological status
Salar is growing since hundreds of years in association with Gol. There is equilibrium between Salar
& its associates. It has been least disturbed by extraneous agenies due to its remoteness of occurrence
&limited uses. Near habitation it is pollarded & browsed, therefore, it gets stunted and crooked. In
solitary conditions it is pillared & browsed, therefore, it gets stunted and crooked. In solitary
conditions it becomes heavily branched &natural regeneration. By all these observations it appears
that Salar forest is in edaphic climax in these division.
Overlapping Khair forests.
Khair occurs occasionally with Dhok all along the Aravalli hills in both the divisions. The tree is of
malformed bole & stunted in growth. Its main associates are Dhok, Salar, Gol, Shirdia, Semal, Ber
kiolai etc. climbers Kalibel (Ventilago calycylata), Narkanta (Asparagus dumosus), Hukhabol
(Aristlochia indica) etc. grasses are Bhangti (Apluda mutica), Lapla (Aristide Spp.)etc. Regeneration
of Khair is almost absent all over the forest.
Ecological Status
Khair has been removed from the Forests for the manufacture of Katha, Large area with few tree were
worked for manufacture Katha but these areas were not protected against grazing. As a result now
Khair is on the Vearge of extinction from there areas. In Bagri Block Khair is growing in association
with Dhok and an apparent equilibrium is existing. Therefore, it can be deduced from the above
discussion that Khair is on the verge of extinction, therefore it can be classified as bio-edaphic climax
type being sustained due to poor soil and biotic interference.
49
Overlapping bamboo forests

Bamboo (Dendrocalamus strictus) is now available at limited sites along nallas and in sheltered places.
Good-sized bamboos are growing in Javia & Chekla Block of Jaswantpura ranga of Jalor division. In
pali division it is growing at scattered places. Very thin in size of badly stunted growth.
Its main associates are Dhok, Salar, Umb, Gol, Salam, Kam, Tendu, Aritha, Due to mismanagement in
the past and continued biotic interferance, the bamboo forest have deteriorated in a great extent &
consequently resulted in a poor quality & density. Regeneration is deficient. This type corresponds to 5
E 9 Dry Bamboo brakes according to Champion & Seths classification.
Goria Dhav forests
Goria Dhav in has been noted that it occurs in the zone approximately from 500-1000 meters above
M.S.L. It is found with other species like Salar (Boswellia serrate), Gol (Lannea coromendelica),
Khirni (Wrishtia tinotoria), Umb (Miliusa tomentosa )Tendu (Diospyros melanoxylon), Bahear
(Terminalia belerica), Tiwas (Ougeinia (Ougeinia oojeinensis), Adra (Albizzia lebbek), Sishak
(Delbergia latieolia),Bans (Dendrocalamus strictus), Karmala (cassia fistula), Aritha (Sapindus
emarginatus) etc. The under story consists of Tambolia (Ehretia laevis), Kankon (Flacourtia indica),
Dhaman (Grewia tiliaefolia) etc. The undergrowth consists of Gangan (Grewia tenax), Frangan
(Grewia flavescens), Maror-phali (Helicteresisora) etc. The common climbers present are Panibel
(Cissus repanda), Pilwan (Cocoulus pendulus), Narkanta (Asparagus dumosus) etc. The common
grasses found are Bhangti (Apluda mutics), Karad (Dicanthium annulatum), Soorwala (Heteropogon
contrortus), Lampla (Aristia Spps.).
The growth of Goria Dhav is very slow. Its density varies from 0.3 to 0.6. Its distribution on higher
elevations is less disturbed in comparison to Dhok. Along roads and Condgrazing paths its quality is
poor. It reaches the top canopy with salar & Goland at places the bole formation is remarkable in its
straightness & dimensions. It generally attains height from 8 to 15 meter & girth up to 60 cms at breast
height. It is regenerating satisfactorily both by seed & coppice.
These forests yield good small timber and fuelwood. The leaf fodder is also palatable & rich in
nutrients. The wood gives good quality charcoal.
Ecological Status
These forests are continuing more or less well since long. Due to excessive interference by grazing,
lopping, fire, cutting etc. These tend to give way to drier type of spps. These forests appear to be of
climatic climax.
Khakra (Butea Monosperma) forests
These forests are characteristic of river &Nalla beds, as hill slopes, degraded sites near the agricultural
land and duetations. Cattle due to unpaltability habits leaves least disturb it. It regenerates
satisfactorily both by root suckers andeed Khakhra forms almost pure corp with few scattered &
sparsely growing trees of Kemda (Mitragyana pryifolia), Shirdia (Holoptelia integrifclia), Aranjia
(Acacia jeucopholea), Pipal (Ficus religiosa), Khajri (Prosopis cineraria). Etc. There is no undestorey.
The undergrowth consists mainiy of Anwal (Cassia auriculata), Panwar (Cassia tora), Negad (Vitex
negundo) etc. The common grasses growing are Bhangti (Apluda mutica), Lampla (Aristida apps.).
Karad (Dicanthium annulatum) etc.
The Khakra trees are malformed, crooked, hollow & mature to over mature. The hight varies from 4 to
10 meters. These trees are of economic importance as its gum is commercially sold as KINO gum.
Leaves are used for thatching & making Patal & Dona.
Ecological status
The type is edaphic subtype as per Champion & Seths classification.

setigerus), Lapla (Ariatida spps) etc.
Ecological status
This is recognized edaphi climax as per Champion Seths classification of forest types.
Degraded areas
The vegetation of these areas has been discussed under the heading degraded dhok forest. There are
some space habitations like Chang and Barward Block of Sendra rahge which are in wrost stage of
degradation. Men and his cattle have further aggravated the gravity of Degradation. The species
growing are Kumth (Acacin senegal) acacia Jaequenmotii,Jharber (Zizybhus nummularia), Gugal
(Commiphora wightii), Siris (Albizzia Lobbek) etc. These areas can be restocked only through strong
will, coupled with restreint on demand with respect to forest produce and grazing.

Programme officer 'Sweet' gave the information and details of the working of Sweet Sansthan
Banswara and gave details of Railway Survey
Programme officer Sweet requested G.M. Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. to give detail information of
the DFC project.
G.M. Mantec told that because of the ever growing economy of India, improvement of physical ability
for moving goods by means of railways within the country is considered urgently needed; he also
explained that the railway line starting from Mumbai running all the way up to Delhi is dedicated only
for Freight Corridor and nothing to do with the passengers. Growth of major and minor ports of India,
the traffic between Northern Hinterland and Western port and huge traffic of coal, steel, and fertilizer
is anticipated on Ludhiana-Delhi-Howrah route. He said that there are lots of containers coming into
this country from outside and landing at Mumbai and moving by train to Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Delhi
upto Ludhiana. On average approximately 9000-loaded trucks move daily over the corridor, i.e. DelhiMumbai Western Corridor and Ludhiana-Hawrah Eastern corridor. He added that Freght Corridor is
basically constructed alongside existing double track from Mumbai-Delhi, from palanpur up to
Ahmedabad routes. From the city Vadodara adjoing the existing areas drawing up from Rajasthan,
because of the congested areas, change all the way up to Mehsana the Freight Corridor has to be
constructed avoiding the congestion on existing railway lines.
He also told about the Sikar Disst.
Maximum 25 meters of land will be taken from the central line of the extreme track (existing/under
conversion as BG on eastern side). The existing ROW of railway will be used, if available and Land
Acquisition will be done for the balance land.
45 Meters of land strip will be acquired for the detour route as per the drawings shown.

colony is removed and the railway station of Neem Ka Thana is constructed, we shall get
enough space. The present track, which is coming in detour, will be straight. In this situation
we shall get enough places and without any lose, this track can be made in the east for the
DFC Railway corridor. There are enough places for railway colony in the North and
GRP Thana can be on the Railway Station.
The rehabilitation plan should be made first and then people should be settled.

Summary of Stakeholder Public Consultation Meeting
There was gathering of 107 people. We have invited 150 stakeholders but reading the news in the
newspapers some uninvited persons attended the meeting. 107 stakeholders filled in the forms.107
respondents of 23 village participated in the III public consultation meeting aimed DFC project to get
final suggestion from the villagers. The Neem Ka Thana & Sri Madhopur villages have shown the
highest participation (20.56 & 14.95%), while the lowest participation was observed from Meghpura,
Bhagega, Pakka Pithawali dhani, Shyam Nagar, Julo and Khetawali Dhani (0.93%).
It was noted that there were 64.5% belongs to OBC while 12.2% from S.T. Caste. The lowest
percentage was from S.C. Caste (3.7%). The General percentage was 19.6%, From S.C. 3.7%.
The people having more than 6 children percentage were 45.5% and the people having less than 6
children percentage were 43.0%. It is difficult to run their family and belong to poor caste. So they
wanted employment for their lively hood.
The analysis reveals those majorities 96.3% of the respondents in the meeting were original in
habitants. The literacy percentage was 100% but under metric percentage was 61.7%. & 13.9% were
graduates. It reveals the fact that people are less in Govt. Service & Private Service.
The study showed that higher educational level witnesses the decreasing proportion of the respondent
because they are less worried about the DFC project.
It was also investigated that the occupational pattern is quite diversified. 69.2% respondents are
engaged in agriculture while businessman's percent is 9.4% only. Agriculture is main occupation of the
villagers. The level of income reveals the fact that 12.2% respondent were in 5,000 to 10,000 yearly

Here are the details of the welcome note and brief description of the project given by Social Worker of
Samaj Vikas Sewa Sanstha and G.M. Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd.
A very pleasant good evening to all of you. I am and I am a Social Worker welcome all of you on
behalf of Samaj Vikas Sewa Sanstha, the NGO. First of all I would seek the honour to the all Japan
International Cooperation Agency {JICA} and its our immense pleasure and honour to have you here
amongst us. Thank you so much for being a part of our endeavour.
We all have gathered here today for a very progressive and futuristic cause as we all know and face the
mundane reality of life every single day in the form of complexities, challenges and problem in the
way of our psychological, physical and economical growth, we are always in the hunt of solutions to it
and ways to grow.
We all are here today to join hands and move from the darkness of problems and complexities to the
light of solutions and growth.
Way backing April 2005 Indo Japan High level summit meeting was held between the Prime Ministers
of both the countries .The view was mutually shared that Japanese Special Terms of Economic
Partnership (STEP) could be an effective medium of forwarding large scale priority projects in
infrastructure in India. Both the sides decided to check the feasibility of dedicated multi model high
axle load Freight corridors with computerized train control systems on the Delhi- Mumbai and
Ludhiana- Howarah routs utilizing STEP with Japanese Technology and their expertise in the field. So
a committee on infrastructure was formed chaired by the Prime Minister to prepare a concept paper on
(Delhi-Mumbai of Western Railway corridor and Ludhiana-Howarah of Eastern Railway corridor).
Dedicated Freight Corridor Project suggesting new organization structure for planning, Financing,
construction and operation of these corridors. The task force was constituted and chaired by Mr.
Anwarul Hooda member Planning Commission and included experts and representatives from the
Railway board, Planning Commission and Ministry of Finance.
Further ahead recommendations of this report were approved in February 2006 and their
implementation has been initiated with numerous benefits to follow the challenging task has began.
Our Indian Ministry of railways has taken an initiative in the same direction with the help of JICA
(Japanese International Cooperate in Agency) with a project called DFC project for development of
multimodal high axle load freight corridors with computerized control.
We all know that Railways is the biggest mode of transport in India we all know equally well that it
doesnt only carry people across it helps us carry goods as well but the unfortunate fact of the day is
that in India till date we dont have dedicated network for freight movement which is a big handicap in
the growth of our nation and its economy that is where the agenda of this stakeholder /Public
consultation meeting lies. The agenda is that DFC project.
This project forwarded by the Indian Ministry of Railways and funded by JICA is being strengthened
by Mantec Consultants Pvt.Ltd. and Samaj Vikas Sewa Sanstha., the NGO that cares
The DFC project is definitely going to be a boon to our nation considering the huge growth of Indian
business and economy .Their has been an ever-growing demand and requirement of better services and
conveniences in transporting goods which are incessantly growing in quantity. There is an urgent need
of capacitating and facilitating our transport network making it capable enough to handle the freight
issues.
Saving time and money offering growth and relief, today as well as tomorrow. With this futuristic note
I would like to invite GM of Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd to help all of us understand the details of the
project. I would request to GM of Mantec kindly take over the podium and enlighten the issue.
75
GM of Mantec said, because of the ever-growing economy of India, improvement of physical ability
for moving goods by means of Railways within the country is considered urgently needed over the
years, the Railways share in the field of freight movement has been falling drastically to nearby about
20% at present annually.
Therefore, Government of India decided to build a separate Dedicated freight Corridors in LudhianaHowrah and Delhi- Mumbai route along with exiting rail line. Along with rail line, station, bridges,
signals and control system, electricity supply system, rehabilitation of cargo handling yards, also have
to develop. The freight corridor passing through Delhi- Haryana- Rajasthan -Gujarat -Maharashtra
(Mumbai).
Expressing the objective of the public consultation meeting, Mr. Sharma said that Stakeholder/Public
Consultation meeting is one of the tools to reflect the opinions of the public as well as those concerned
with the project that are ranging from the central and local government organization to commercial
and industrial sectors of the society as whole. It is an important tool in terms of information
dissemination during the planning stage of the project.
The work of Stakeholder\Public Consultation meeting is carried out as a part of social consideration as
per JICA Guidelines, which it is subject to application as JICA study is one of the many projects
internationally, funded by JICA.
Further he said that still in India, there is no time schedule for goods trains. The project is proposed for
specially goods trains and will maintain its time schedule also which will certainly attract to the
public\ businessman to prefer railways far transportation. He show Detail information with help of
projector and gave details description.

Here are the details of the welcome note and brief description of the project given by Social Worker of
Samaj Vikas Sewa Sanstha and G.M. Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd.
A very pleasant good evening to all of you. I am a Social Worker welcome all of you on behalf of
Samaj Vikas Sewa Sanstha, the NGO. First of all I would seek the honour to the all Japan International
Cooperation Agency {JICA} and its our immense pleasure and honour to have you here amongst us.
Thank you so much for being a part of our endeavour.
We all have gathered here today for a very progressive and futuristic cause as we all know and face the
mundane reality of life every single day in the form of complexities, challenges and problem in the
way of our psychological, physical and economical growth, we are always in the hunt of solutions to it
and ways to grow.
We all are here today to join hands and move from the darkness of problems and complexities to the
light of solutions and growth.
Way backing April 2005 Indo Japan High level summit meeting was held between the Prime Ministers
of both the countries .The view was mutually shared that Japanese Special Terms of Economic
Partnership (STEP) could be an effective medium of forwarding large scale priority projects in
infrastructure in India. Both the sides decided to check the feasibility of dedicated multi model high
axle load Freight corridors with computerized train control systems on the Delhi- Mumbai and
Ludhiana- Howarah routs utilizing STEP with Japanese Technology and their expertise in the field. So
a committee on infrastructure was formed chaired by the Prime Minister to preparea concept paper on
(Delhi-Mumbai of Western Railway corridor and Ludhiana-Howarah of Eastern Railway corridor).
Dedicated Freight Corridor Project suggesting new organization structure for planning, Financing,
construction and operation of these corridors. The task force was constituted and chaired by Mr.
Anwarul Hooda member Planning Commission and included experts and representatives from the
Railway board, Planning Commission and Ministry of Finance.
Further ahead recommendations of this report were approved in February 2006 and their
implementation has been initiated with numerous benefits to follow the challenging task has began.
Our Indian Ministry of railways has taken an initiative in the same direction with the help of JICA
(Japanese International Cooperate in Agency) with a project called DFC project for development of
multimodal high axle load freight corridors with computerized control.
We all know that Railways is the biggest mode of transport in India we all know equally well that it
doesnt only carry people across it helps us carry goods as well but the unfortunate fact of the day is
that in India till date we dont have dedicated network for freight movement which is a big handicap in
the growth of our nation and its economy that is where the agenda of this stakeholder /Public
consultation meeting lies. The agenda is that DFC project.
This project forwarded by the Indian Ministry of Railways and funded by JICA is being strengthened
by Mantec Consultants Pvt.Ltd. and Samaj Vikas Sewa Sanstha., the NGO that cares
The DFC project is definitely going to be a boon to our nation considering the huge growth of Indian
business and economy .Their has been an ever-growing demand and requirement of better services and
conveniences in transporting goods which are incessantly growing in quantity. There is an urgent need
of capacitating and facilitating our transport network making it capable enough to handle the freight
issues.
Saving Time and money offering growth and relief, today as well as tomorrow. With this futuristic
note I would like to invite GM of Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd to help all of us understand the details
of the project. I would request to GM of Mantec kindly take over the podium and enlighten the issue.
84
GM of Mantec said, because of the ever-growing economy of India, improvement of physical ability
for moving goods by means of Railways within the country is considered urgently needed Over the
years, the Railways share in the field of freight movement has been falling drastically to nearby about
20% at present annually.
Therefore, Government of India decided to build a separate Dedicated freight Corridors in LudhianaHowrah and Delhi- Mumbai route along with exiting rail line. Along with rail line, station, bridges,
signals and control system, electricity supply system, rehabilitation of cargo handling yards, also have
to develop. The freight corridor passing through Delhi- Hariyana- Rajasthan -Gujrat -Maharastra
(Mumbai)
Expressing the objective of the public consultation meeting, Mr. Sharma said that Stakeholder/Public
Consultation meeting is one of the tools to reflect the opinions of the public as well as those concerned
with the project that are ranging from the central and local government organization to commercial
and industrial sectors of the society as whole. It is an important tool in terms of information
dissemination during the planning stage of the project.
The work of Stakeholder\Public Consultation meeting is carried out as a part of social consideration as
per JICA Guidelines, which it is subject to application as JICA study is one of the many projects
internationally, funded by JICA.
Further he said that still in India, there is no time schedule for goods trains. The project is proposed for
specially goods trains and will maintain its time schedule also which will certainly attract to the
public\ businessman to prefer railways far transportation. He show Detail information with help of
projector and gave details description.

Brief Description of State Rajasthan
Rajasthan is located in the north-western part of the subcontinent. It is bounded on the west and
northwest by Pakistan, on the north and northeast by the states of Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh,
on the east and southeast by the states of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, and on the southwest by
the state of Gujarat. The Tropic of Cancer passes through its southern tip in the Banswara district. The
state has an area of 132,140 square miles (342,239 km2). The capital city is Jaipur.
In the west, Rajasthan is relatively dry and infertile; this area includes some of the Thar Desert, also
known as the Great Indian Desert. In the south-western part of the state, the land is wetter, hilly, and
more fertile. The climate varies throughout Rajasthan. On average winter temperatures range from 8
to 28 C (46 to 82 F) and summer temperatures range from 25 to 46 C (77 to 115 F). Average
rainfall also varies; the western deserts accumulate about 100 mm (about 4 in) annually, while the
south-eastern part of the state receives 650 mm (26 in) annually, most of which falls from July through
September during the monsoon season. Rajasthan has a single-chamber legislative assembly with 200
seats. The state sends 35 members to the Indian national parliament: 10 to the Rajya Sabha (Upper
House) and 25 to the Lok Sabha (Lower House). Local government is based on 30 administrative
districts.

Brief Description of District Nagaur
Glorified by the bards, the history of Nagaur finds mention even in the Mahabharata. The kingdom of
Ahichhatrapur, which Arjun is said to have conquered and subsequently offered to his Guru
Dronacharya, was perhaps some of the area of the Nagaur district. The birthplace of Meera and Abul
Fazal, Nagaur district has a charbhuja and Parsawanath Temple at Merta and the Dargah of Sufi Saint
Tarkin at Nagaur city. Nagaur also witnessed the valour of Great Rao Amar Singh Rathor who
challenged the mighty Mughal Empire. The large old Fort has many glorious tales of bravery of the
erstwhile rulers of the states.
Nagaur District is situated between 260.25 & 270.40 North Latitude & 730.10 & 750.15 East

merger of the states, Nagaur was a part of the erstwhile Jodhpur State.
After independence, Nagaur had the honour of being selected as the place in the country from where
the Democratic Decentralisation process was launched by the late Shri Jawaharlal Nehru, the first
Prime Minister of India on the 2nd October 1959.
The town of Ladnu in the district has gained its place on the map of the country being the headquarters
of the famous 'Jain Vishwa Bharti' which has become a centre of spiritual learning & knowledge under
the leadership of Acharya Tulsi, a great Jain saint, who has propagated the philosophy of
"ANUVRAT" in order to enlighten people in this area of the country. Nagaur is in Center of Rajasthan.
In north there is Sikar District. , In west Bikaner & Churu District., In South Jodhpur & Pali, In East

Minutes of Meeting
Then inauguration was done by local MLA

Meeting facilitator gave the information and details of working of Sweet Sansthan
Banswara and the purpose of the meeting
Representative from Mantec Consultants gave the detail description of the DFC Project
Mantec representative explained that because of the ever growing economy of India, improvement of
physical ability for moving goods by means of railways within the country is considered urgently
needed; he also explained that the railway line starting from Mumbai running all the way up to Delhi
is dedicated only for Freight Corridor and nothing to do with the passengers. Growth of major and
minor ports of India, the traffic between Northern Hinterland and Western port and huge traffic of coal,
steel, and fertilizer is anticipated on Ludhiana-Delhi-Howrah route.
He also said that there are lots of containers coming into this country from outside and landing at
Mumbai and moving by train to Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Delhi upto Ludhiana. On average approximately
9000-loaded trucks move daily over the corridor, i.e. Delhi-Mumbai Western Corridor and LudhianaHowrah eastern corridor. He added that Freight Corridor is basically constructed alongside existing
double track from Mumbai-Delhi, from Palanpur upto Ahmedabad routes. From the city Vadodara
adjoining the existing areas drawing up from Rajasthan, because of the congested areas, change all the
way upto Mahesana the Freight Corridor has to be constructed avoiding the congestion on existing
railway lines.

Mantec representative cleared the misunderstanding of stakeholders regarding the acquisition of land
along the track. He told that the corridor would be laid down in the eastern part of rail line in Nagaur
district for which only 20 to 26 m (26 m at Detour) lands would be acquired from the centre of the
existing track. He further added that it would save time in the process of transportation of goods,
which will be benefited to the people.
With help of projector Mantec representative show the alignment of proposed DFC project of Naguar
district. He said that only three revenue villages would be affected by this proposed DFC project in
the Nagaur district and also added that it is only feasibility study.
He also told that in Nagaur district there is no junction station or crossing station as well as no detour
and ROB/RUB are proposed but he also cleared that it is not final decision. After completion of the
study the final picture will come out.
In the last the chief guest (MLA) expressed his view and gave thanks to the JICA study team, Mantec
consultants and Sweet institute for providing knowledge about the project. He also gave thanks to the

2. Compensation should be given fairly
3. Goods godown should be made on Minda Station
4. DFC Project should start as early as possible, corridor construction is good for Nagaur distt.
5. The route should not be discontinued during the work.
6. Better infrastructure for Minda station.
7. Allotment of land for land.
8. People want good services from railways
9. Compensation should be 5 lakh per bigha.
10. The local people should be employed.
11 A Station should be constructed in Minda of DFC so that salt industries, onion farmers and
Mica industries will be benefited. This proposal eas given by local MLA
3.4
Question /Answer during the Meeting
Question 1 Participant from Minda please tell me, what are the benefits of the project?
Answer 1 Mantec representatives replied The project would lead to the overall development of the
village. People will get the employment, goods will be provided in cheaper rates. The freight Corridor
is proposed to be comprising of exclusively reserved railway tracks laid out for the Freight Trains only
where the Freight Trains would be moving at a very high speed of over 100 km. an hour. At present it
takes almost two days for a container train to make the journey from Mumbai to New Delhi-one of the
most saturated corridors in the country. It will take just 24 hours after the completion of the project to
do this journey. Further, the Freight Trains will also be carrying much more freight than the present
container trains. Besides, this project is also expected to create 680000 new jobs directly and indirectly.
Question 2 Participant from Takia Sir, I want to know about the remuneration to be paid to land
losers, will it be according to market or govt. rates?
Answer 2 Mantec representatives replied "All affected person of DFC Project would be compensated
according to NPRR-2006. Committee consisting of local, M.P., MLA, D.M. and other representatives
will decide the structure for land remuneration and according to that payment will be made. All efforts
will be made to limit the project within the Railway land. Along most of the length of the corridor, the
alignment is parallel to the existing railway track, but diversions are unavoidable in a number of
155
stretches, for reason such as (i) avoiding heavily built up area (ii) other technical or land acquisition
constraints. In addition a number of small diversions would be required at station and near major
bridges to facilitate construction of new bridges for DFC line in such cases the Govt. will acquire land.
Compensation will be given as per the rules and regulations of Govt. of India. There is no diversion
proposed in Nagaur district".
Question 3 Participant from Minda Sir what is the time period for finishing the project work"?
Answer 3 Mantec representatives replied this corridor project has started working in 2005 and survey
work has been in progress. The govt. of India would take up the work in 2009 and will be completed
in 2014. Freight Corridor from Son Nagar to Ludhiana, via Khurja with a connection from Khurja to
proposed Western Corridor at Dadri Terminal Yard; Son Nagar Howrah of Eastern Corridor and from
Mumbai to Ahmedabad-Jaipur-Ajmer-Delhi of Western Corridor, the Government of India would
complete this project within 5 years i.e. the Government would take up the work in 2009 and will be
completed in the year 2014.
Question 4 Participant (Sarpanch) What is the compensation system?
Answer 4 Mantec representatives replied All the Stakeholders affected by the DFC Project would be
compensated according to NPRR-2006. To ensure adequate rehabilitation package and expeditious
implementation of the rehabilitation process with the active participants of displaced persons. Special
care is taken for protecting the rights of, and ensuring affirmative State action for weaker segments of
society, especially members of SCs and STs and to create obligations on the State for their treatment
with concern and sensitivity.
Question 5 Participant from Takiya Why this track /corridor is being made?
Answer 5 Mantec representatives replied "As I earlier said this need has been felt due to the growing
economy of India requiring improvement in physical movements of goods by means of railways
within the country. At present, the high-density Eastern and Western corridors are already saturated in
terms of line capacity utilization. Therefore, on an average, approx. 9000 loaded trucks move daily
over the corridor, i.e Delhi-Mumbai Western corridor and Ludhiana- Howrah Eastern Corridor and
most important matter is that, over the years, the railways share in the field of freight movement has
been falling drastically to about 20% at present annually
Question 6 Participant (Sarpanch) If there is no station in Nagaur district than how people of Nagaur
will be benefited from this project. Therefore I requested you that a Station should be constructed in
Minda so that salt industries, onion farmers and mica industries will be benefited. Mr. Harish
Kunawat local MLA also has same view?
Answer 6 Mantec representatives replied Only two Railway stations are proposed in Rajasthan, one
is in Phulera and other in Marwar Junction as I mentioned it earlier. However I will mention this point
in the report.
Question 7 Participant Railway over bridge should be made on Bawari and Minda station, so that
people of that area could safely cross the railway track?
Answer 7 Mantec representatives replied At present, there is no provision of ROB or RUB in Bawari
and Minda. I will mention this point in the report.
Question 8 Participant Godown should be made on Minda Station?
Answer.8 Mantec representatives replied I will mention also this point in the report.
JICA is studying about the track demands on the railway cargos between Mumbai-Delhi, and, between
Son Nagar-Ludhiana, every 5 years starting from 2008 to 2032. In the next 25 years they are trying to
work out the railway tracks in demand for sending cargos. The existing railway tracks are having no
more capacity to carry cargos. That is why freight corridor system is necessary to construct. The
decision in principal has already been taken by the Govt. of India to undertake this project after having
high-level discussions with the Govt. of Japan. The Govt. of India has conducted studies at its own
level also. It has been accepted that this project will be playing important and essential role in
maintaining and adding further to the present economic growth of the country. Considering the
156
importance of this project the government is keen to implement this project at the earliest. The
groundwork has, therefore, started and the present meetings are being conducted to create and spread
general awareness. These will help in undertaking further studies concerning actual implementation of
the project. All efforts are being done to complete these basic studies at the earliest and a time frame
has been projected to complete these studies in as short a time as possible.

Summary of Major Findings
There was gathering of about 200 hundred people. We invited 120 stake holders but hearing the news
in the news papers some uninvited persons attended the meeting, 84 stake holders fill in the from.
84 respondents of 5 village participated in the public consultation meeting aimed DFC project. The
Minda village has shown the highest participation (44.05%), while the lowest participation was
observed from Nagaur (1.19%),
It is noted that there are 70.24% belongs to OBC while 3.57% from S.T. Caste. It shows that majority
consists of O.B.C. and S.C. Caste (16.67%) The people are villagers and doing agriculture and labour
work.
The people having more than 6 children percentage is 59.62 it is difficult to run their family and
belongs to poor caste. So they want employment for their lively hood.
The analysis reveals that majority 88.10% of the respondent in the meeting are original inhabitants.
The literacy percentage is 78.57% but under metric percentage is 51.19% it reveals the fact that people
are less in govt. service.
The study shows that higher educational level witnesses the decreasing proportion of the respondent
because they are less worried about the DFC project.
It is also investigated that the occupational pattern is quite diversified. 83.34% respondents are
engaged in agriculture while 4.76% is engaged in business; agriculture is main occupation of the
villagers. The level of income reveals the fact those 21.43 + 48.81% despondent ranges in the group of
5000 to 25000 Rs. while only 4% respondents have more then 1 lakh income. Which shows that the
people of the village lack basic amenities of life?
The table 8 shows that only 26.19% people have significant effect and 27.38 said insignificant.
40.48% would get loss of land and 14.29% said there would be loss of occupation.
In Nagaur District. Only three major villages (Bawri, Minda and Takiya) are mainly affected. Majority
people are interested for DFC project because they would get employment and are in favor of DFC
Corridor. However they said that if a depot and station will not construct in Minda or any other place
in Nagaur than how can the people of Nagaur will be benefited. Therefore a depot and station must be
constructed in Nagaur. Everyone wants that ROB or RUB will be constructed on every railway-road
crossing to avoid any type of accidents and delay in transportation. They also said that if government
acquired only 20-meter land from middle of the existing railway line in eastern side than in Nagaur no
one will be directly affected.

Growth of major and minor ports of India, the traffic between Northern Hinterland and Western port
and huge traffic of coal, steel and fertilizer is anticipated on Ludhiana- Delhi Howrah route. He said
that there are lots of containers coming into this country from outside and landing at Mumbai and
moving by train to Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Delhi upto Ludhiana. On an average approximately 9000loaded truck move daily over the corridor, i.e. Delhi- Mumbai Western Corridor and Ludhiana
Howrah Eastern Corridor. He added that Freight Corridor is basically constructed alongside existing

During the proceeding of the public consultation meeting a lot of discussion took place among the
stakeholders, local politicians and transport union leaders, representative of NGOs, media persons and
organizers of the meeting. The major issues that emerged during the discussion and suggestions
regarding the item No 13 of the questionnaire together are enumerated as under:
Question 1 Participant from Bubani asked, How much land would be needed to construct this new
rail facility?
Answer 1 Mantec representative appreciated his question and replied, The railway needs only 20
meters land from middle of the existing track on eastern side, and only 20 meters of the land is
required for the construction of the new proposed railway track.
Question 2 Participant from Gagal, When will the project be completed?
Answer 2 Mantec representative The project feasibility study has been started in 2006 and the
expectation of the completion of this part of the project is around 2013. He explained, The decision
in principal has already been taken by the Govt. of India and has conducted studies at its own level
also. It has been accepted that this project will be playing an important and essential role in
maintaining and adding further to the present economic growth of the country. Considering the
importance of this project the government is keen to implement this project at the earliest. The
groundwork has therefore started and the present meetings are being conducted to create and spread
general awareness. These will help in undertaking further studies concerning actual implementation of
the project. All the efforts are being made to complete these basic studies at the earliest and a time
frame has been projected to complete these studies in as short a time as possible.
Question 3 Participant from Ladpura, Sir what would a common man get out of this kind of a
project?
Answer 3 In this regard Mantec representative said The biggest thing is that the common man will
get employment from the project. He also added the project aims to generate around 6.80 lac jobs in
the country.
Question 4 Participant from Akhari asked, Why is such a huge project needed? He also asked,
What kind of compensation is assured to be paid to the land owners. What is going to be the criteria
for giving compensations to the affected people?
Answer 4 To this query Mantec representative replied, The compensation shall be paid as per
National Rehabilitation Policy of 2006 of Government of India.
184
Question 5 Participant from Bhudal , representative from Business sector asked What is the time
period planned for finishing this project?
Answer 5 Mantec representative replied The freight Corridor from Son Nagar to Ludhiana via
Khurja with a connection from Khurja to proposed Western Corridor at Dadri Terminal Yard. Son
Nagar Howrah of Eastern Corridor and from Mumbai to Ahmedabad Jaipur Delhi of Western
Corridor, the Government of India would complete this project within 5 years i.e. the Government
would take up the work in 2008 and will be completed in the year 2013He further informed the
people saying JICA is studying the track demands on the railway cargos between Mumbai- Delhi,
between Mundra- Ahmedabad Delhi, between Son-Nagar-Ludhiana every 5 years starting from 2008
to 2032. In the next 25 years they are trying to work out the railway tracks in demand for sending
cargos. The existing railway tracks are having no more capacity to carry cargos. That is why freight
corridor system is necessary to be made.
Question 6 Participant from Jatali Sir actually farmers get registered their land at lower price to
save the stamp duty, not only that govt. rate are very low therefore I wanted to know that on what basis
will govt. provide compensation?
Answer 6 Mantec representative All affected person of DFC Project would be compensated
according to NPRR-2006. Committee consisting of local, M.P., MLA, D.M. and other representatives
will decide the structure for land remuneration and according to that payment will be made. All efforts
will be made to limit the project within the Railway land. Along most of the length of the corridor, the
alignment is parallel to the existing railway track, but diversions are unavoidable in a number of
stretches, for reason such as (i) avoiding heavily built up area (ii) other technical or land acquisition
constraints. In addition a number of small diversions would be required at station and near major
bridges to facilitate construction of new bridges for DFC line in such cases the Govt will acquire land.
Compensation will be given as per the rules and regulations of Govt. of India
Question 7 Participant from Ladapura If houses are there but not have legal title than they will
compensation, Sir for NH construction they did not got compensation even they had water and electric
connection?
Answer 7 Mantec representative In this project all effected people will get compensation and for
non title holder if they have not legal title of the land than they would get compensation of structure,
crops or any immovable property but they would not get compensation for land.
Question 8 Participant from Ajmer Sir you are telling that it is beneficial to farmer but how it is,when
there is no station being constructed in Ajmer?
Answer 8 Mantec representatives said, As you know that it is Freight Corridor, therefore it is not
possible to construct railway station in every city. Although in Phulera in Jaipur a Railway station will
be constructed for this corridor, which is beneficial for Ajmer district also.
Question 9 Participant from Gagal Sir, you said that in Kishangarh the proposed corridor goes from
eastern to western side. Is it crossing existing line and NH-8?
Answer 9 Mantec representative Yes the proposed alignment will cross existing main line
(Ahmedabad-Delhi) twice in Ajmer district. This alignment crosses NH-8 twice at Kishangarh and
Madar where RUB has been proposed.
JICA is studying about the track demands on the railway cargos between Mumbai- Delhi, between
Mundra- Ahmedabad Delhi, between Son-Nagar-Ludhiana every 5 years starting from 2008 to 2032.
In the next 25 years they are trying to work out the railway tracks in demand for sending cargos. The
existing railway tracks are having no more capacity to carry cargos. That is why freight corridor
system is necessary to be constructed.
Since there was no other point to discuss the meeting ended with a vote of thanks to the chair.

meeting aimed at construction of dedicated freight corridor. The Ladpura village has shown the highest
participation while the lowest participation was observed from Narwer village. It is noted that there are
4.45% participated belong to scheduled tribes. The scheduled caste (8.15 percent) and OBC (78.52%)

this regard. About majority of the respondents reported meager income level i.e. less than rupees
25,000 per year. However, majority of people have earning between Rs 25000 to Rs 50,000. About
majority percent respondent reported that they have access to the roads in the area. Majority people are

Mantec Consulatants explained that because of the ever growing economy of India, improvement of
needed, he also explained that the railway line starting from Mumbai running all the way up to Delhi
is dedicated only for freight Corridor and nothing to do with the passengers. Growth of major and
steel and fertilizer is anticipated on Ludhiana- Delhi Howrah route. He said that there are lots of
containers coming into this country from outside and landing at Mumbai and moving by train to
Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Delhi upto Ludhiana. On an average approximately 9000 loaded trucks move
daily over the corridor, i.e. Delhi- Mumbai Western Corridor and Ludhiana Howrah Eastern Corridor.
He added that Freight Corridor is basically constructed alongside existing double track from Mumbai
Delhi, from Palanpur upto Ahmedabad routes. From the city Vadodara adjoining the existing areas
drawing up from Rajasthan , because of the congested areas, change all the way upto Mahesana the
Freight Corridor has to be constructed avoiding the congestion on existing railway lines.
In the district of Ajmer DFC does follow the existing rail line with one detour of 13 km. at Kishangarh
and small diversion in Adarsh Nagar, Ajmer due to congested areas. Therefore new land will be
acquired for DFC project especially in Kishangarh. Around 30 villages are likely to be affected in the
Ajmer district.

valuation of the houses.
Question 12 Participant from Sojat Road The railway line has sharp turn near Sojat Road, if high

JICA is studying the track demands on the railway cargos between Mumbai- Delhi, between MundraAhmedabad Delhi, between Son-Nagar-Ludhiana every 5 years starting from 2008 to 2032. In the
next 25 years they are trying to work out the railway tracks in demand for sending cargos. The existing
railway tracks are having no more capacity to carry cargos. That is why freight corridor system is
necessary to construct.
3.4
About one hundred twenty five respondents of ten villages participated in the public consultation
meeting aimed at construction of dedicated freight corridor. The Sojat Road village has shown the
240
highest participation while the lowest participation was observed from Sojat City. It is noted that there
are 1.6% participants who belonged to scheduled tribes. The scheduled caste (7.2 percent) and OBC
(80%) has recorded major participation.
It is also understood that the occupational pattern in the region is quite diversified. People are engaged
in various economic activities. However, agriculture is still the predominant occupation for the local
people. The examination of the level of annual household income reveals that there is a marked
difference in this regard. A major percentage of the respondents fall in meager income level i.e. less
than rupees 25,000 per year. However, a significant proportion of the respondents have observed
earnings between Rs 25000 to Rs 50,000. A majority of respondents reported that they have access to

as highest (49.41%). The Analysis shows that as the educational level increases the proportion of the
respondents decreases except in one level, which is graduation (5.88%). It is ascribed to the primitive
economy of the regions evident from the table 7. It shows that public consultation meeting has been

Question / Answer
During the proceedings of the Public Consultation Meeting a lot of discussions took place amongst the
Question 1 Villager from Dundhala demanded that station and crossing should be made at Sojat Road
instead of Marwar Junction?
Answer 1 Representative of Mantec replied that the project feasibility study has been undertaken by
the railways and they have undertaken this decision considering several factors. But I will incorporate
your suggestion in my report. The final decision has to be taken by the authorities.
Question 2 Villager from Dhundala enquired that if track is on higher elevation, as hilly area also
comes in Pali district than how much land will be required?
Answer 2 Representative of Mantec appreciated his question and replied that the railway needs only
24 meters land from middle of the existing track system on eastern side for the construction of railway
track. I am not civil engineer but definitely it will be higher in hilly areas.
Question 3 Villager from Sojat Road has said that they are informed by the Patwari that land will be
acquired on both side of the track?
Answer 3 In context of this Representative of Mantec replied that only 24 meter on eastern side is
required and do not believe any rumors.
252
Question 4 Villager from Dholia, asked several questions

i) Earlier also our land was acquired and likely to be this time again, we were not paid properly earlier
so compensation of past also be released along with this time?
ii) Alternative houses are constructed for those houses to be demolished?
iii) Market rate criteria are defined?
iv) If whole land of a person is acquired than alternative employment is provided to that person?
Answer 4 Representative of Mantec replied that the compensation shall be paid only for land acquired
for this project only and we are taking market rate of all the villages affected through our partner
NGOs and report this to Railways. Other suggestion of alternative houses against demolished houses
and alternative employment to the affected people is noted by me and incorporated into our report.
3.4
About eighty five respondents of ten villages participated in the public consultation meeting aimed at
construction of dedicated freight corridor. The Sojat Road village has shown the highest participation
while the lowest participation was observed from Goliya, Pendu Kalan and Dnaleya. It is noted that
there are 1.17% participants who belonged to scheduled tribes. The scheduled caste (17.64 percent)
and OBC (47.05%) has recorded major participation.
It is also understood that the occupational pattern in the region is quite diversified. People are engaged
in various economic activities. However, agriculture is still the predominant occupation for the local
people. The examination of the level of annual household income reveals that there is a marked
difference in this regard. A major percentage of the respondents fall in meager income level i.e. less
than rupees 25,000 per year. However, a significant proportion of the respondents have observed
earnings between Rs 25000 to Rs 50,000. A majority of respondents reported that they have access to
the roads in the area. Majority of the local people are having an approach to the railway line.

An area of 304 sq. miles (i.e. 787 km2) consisting of Aburoad tehsil and a part of Delwara tehsil was
merged with then Bombay state. The remaining part of the state came to Rajasthan. However, the
entire sequestered area was returned to Sirohi district of Rajasthan State as it came to be formed when

Question answers during the meeting and reply
1.
Ans.-
Ex-chairman, municipality, Abu road asked about the advantages of the project.
Mantec consultant replied that first of all a large-scale employment problem will be solved,
villagers will be benefited, as the village will be developed drastically and the financial and
economic condition will be upgraded. People will get products at a cheaper rate than before,
also due to easy transportation farmers will get a good deal of their products and by this it will
improve the living standards of the peoples of the region. The freight Corridor is proposed to
be comprising of exclusively reserved railway tracks laid out for the Freight Trains only where
the Freight Trains would be moving at a very high speed of over 100 km. an hour. At present
it takes almost two days for a container train to make the journey from Mumbai to New Delhione of the most saturated corridors in the country. It will take just 24 hours after the
completion of the project to do this journey. Further, the Freight Trains will also be carrying
326

create 6,80,000 new jobs directly and indirectly.

additional land along the existing railway tracks or for laying the bypass tracks and creating
allied facilities such as stations and platforms, bridges, freight terminals, warehousing,

SUGGESTIONS FROM THE STAKEHOLDERS

1. Security measures should be taken along both sides of the railway tracks to save mishap
in the densely populated area.
327
2. Public road is also getting counselling meeting should be held for future requirement of
lands if required.
3. People demanded under-bridge in level crossing no.131 and over-bridge at crossing no
132.
4. You are acquiring 20 m land for D.F.C. then you should take another 200 ft area, because
covered while acquiring 20 m land, so it will be much better to acquire extra 200 ft area
totally.
5. We don't need compensation according to DLC rates, but we need compensation that will
be similar to the amount of last registry.
6. The existing railway track is nearby to the GAIL and HPCL petrol pipelines, so the new
track should be laid down outside city parallel to the national highway. By this means, the
railway property and the public property both will be saved from damage.
7. The inhabitants of the village looniyapura raised an issue that the children and the
common peoples are jobless; so jobs must be provided.
8. The villagers of looniyapura told that they are united till date, they dont want to be
separated from each other; they don't want separation otherwise they will settle
elsewhere.
3.5
Major findings
1. Stakeholder/ Public Consultation meeting For Sirohi district was held at Abu Road on 29
June 2007
2. 126 participants were attended the meeting
3. All the participants appreciated the proposed project but they wanted that government
gave appropriate compensation for their properties
4. In Abu Road if proposed DFC project passes through the Abu Road station in eastern side
then many railway facilities will be affected, in which Diesel Locomotive shed is also
included
5. Interestingly new railway quarters and three water tank has been constructing within 20
metre (eastern side) of the existing (loop line)
6. Near about all the participants, residing near the railway track said that if government
acquired 20-metre land in eastern side than it is better to acquire all our land near the
railway track. Because after completion of the project, it is impossible to here due to noise
and vibration caused by the train
7. They suggested that if it is possible than a detour would be made from maval station to
Bhimana passing further eastern side of the existing rail line and NH-14. Land is also
available there, so that many railway properties and some displacement of the people will
be avoided
8. They wanted that the civil engineers would decide the compensation of the structure.

ever growing economy of India, improvement of physical ability for moving goods by means of
railways within the country is considered urgently needed, he also explained that the railway line
starting from Mumbai running all the way up to Delhi is dedicated only for freight Corridor and
nothing to do with the passengers. Growth of major and minor ports of India, the traffic between
Northern Hinterland and Western port and huge traffic of coal, steel and fertilizer is anticipated on
Ludhiana- Delhi Howrah route. He said that there are lots of containers coming into this country
from outside and landing at Mumbai and moving by train to Ahmedabad, Jaipur, and Delhi up to
Ludhiana. On an average approximately 9000-loaded truck move daily over the corridor, i.e. DelhiMumbai Western Corridor and Ludhiana Howrah Eastern Corridor. He added that Freight Corridor
is basically constructed alongside existing double track from Mumbai Delhi, from Palanpur up to
Ahmedabad routes. From the city Vadodara adjoining the existing areas drawing up from Rajasthan,
because of the congested areas, change all the way up to Mehsana the Freight Corridor has to be
constructed avoiding the congestion on existing railway lines.

3.2 Question / Answer
Question: 1 A villager from Khatuwas asked about the railway crossing as it is closed maximum time
and our agriculture fields and houses are other side of track?
Answer: 1 Mantec representative replied that on the proposed line at all the crossings
overbridge/underbridge shall be made, as goods trains run at the speed of 100 km/hr and pass every
ten minutes.
404
Question: 2 A villager from Khatuwas asked about the rate of compensation of land. He said that we
are very close to Haryana and our land is same as of Rewari then we should be compensated at par
with the farmers of Haryana?
Answer: 2 In this regard Mantec representative has replied that compensation shall be paid as per
National Rehabilitation Policy of 2003 of Government of India. If state government wants they can
pay more as NRP is for minimum rate.
Question: 3 A villager from Kathuwas has asked that our lands are being sold equal to the rate of
Nimbarana then we should be compensated on same rate by railways? At present Govt. rate is Rs. 3
to 3.5 lakh/bigha while in market rate is Rs. 10-12 lakh/bigha. Thus we should be compensated
accordingly.
Answer: 3 In context of this Mantec representative has replied that compensation will be decided
after taking into consideration of market rate and we are taking market rate of all the villages affected
through our partner NGOs and report this to Railways.
Question: 4 A villager from village Khatuwas asked that maximum compensation be paid to the
villagers of our village and they should also be engaged in construction work as labour?
Answer: 4 Mantec representative replied that your suggestions shall be incorporated into the report
large number of persons will get employment from the project; he also added that project aims to
generate around 6.80 lakhs jobs in the country.
Question: 5 A villager said that compensation should be given at par with the farmers of Rewari and
Narnaul; otherwise we will not give land and go for agitation. His other suggestion is to make small
passage for villagers to go other side of railway track as schools and other houses are their. So in
addition to overbridge/underbridge, as this is far from village, this passage is very necessary and was
existed earlier but closed by the railways.
Answer: 5 Mantec representatives replied that in Narnaul officials of district administration has just
mentioned market rate of the area and we will also suggest this in our report. The suggestion of small
passage will also be forwarded to the DFC Corporation for consideration.
